      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One more lockdown started today. There were a bunch of restrictions since Christmas but now it’s a “stay at home order” for at least 28 days.
So I worked from home today and I always feel like I get more things done at home because there are less chances of people dropping into my office asking for things or just asking questions.
It’s more relaxed at home and I am more in control of my time. But still there were a couple last minute requests that I had to handle so that quickly depleted my energy. Context switching is exhausting! Add 2 Zoom meetings on top of that and I’m done!</p>

<p>I stopped working almost an hour later than I’m used to when I go to the office. Gotta fix that!</p>
