It's true that routine and structure are very important for people who are working from home.
But don't forget - you're not actually *working from home*. You are *at home, working, during a global crisis*. That is not the same thing at all and I think it's foolish for anyone to assume it is. During a normal WFH scenario you don't also have to worry about maintaining necessary supplies, or whether any of your friends or family is about to fall dangerously ill, or whether people will comply with social distancing rules if you do have to go outside, or what the tally of the dead is going to be on this particular day, or whether our useless Government is going to pull its collective finger out and do its goddamn job! We are in a disaster scenario, and we have to allow ourselves the mental space to deal with that f*ckwittery every single day ON TOP of actually trying to get any work done while at home.
