I am in the same boat. So many things that need to be done, but I just can’t ever figure out where to start. I always worked better when there was someone there to body double with me.
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. There are even co-working spaces for remote workers to stay motivated and work more productively just because they're in the presence of other people, even if those other people are working for different companies in unrelated projects. There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting an accountability buddy, even if they're online only. I'd be happy to be/have one!
Me too.... So so so much better. At least we know we're not the only ones
