When I was in the office absolutely, now at home if my power and internet are out I can’t even watch tv.

I always have a book on my desk. Gotta be prepared

Also handy for taking regular breaks, staying occupied in meetings you don't need to be in, waiting for your computer to run updates for IT, and giving up at 2pm but not wanting to obviously stop responding to messages!

Or just sit and relax. I feel like people have lost this during my lifetime. Ive never lost the ability to just take a deep breath, lean back, and enjoy some quiet. I mean, if I was WANTING to watch a movie or something, there would be disappointment, but if the reason I can't is beyond my control, it's a waste of time to dwell on it and be upset. Right?

Gotta maximize your downtime. It's in too short a supply as it is

As soon as I hit submit on this comment I realized I was holding a tv in my hand that connects to the internet.

At the office they paid, at home I only get an hour before they stop paying and expect me to make up the time later.
