Keep in mind, you're not just "working remotely" these past two years, you're "working remotely through a pandemic". These are two very different things.
I will disagree with it. I may have agreed the first year but not the second. The pandemic doesn't excuse anything anymore.
This is a needlessly callous take. For many people, the second year was when the pandemic actually started to hit close to home. Of the handful of people I knew who died from covid -- it hasn't even been a full year yet.
Many people are dealing with profound levels of grief and loss. It may not "excuse" anything, but it's necessary context. Be kind.
What do you mean by that? Just that some/most countries have lifted most COVID restrictions?
I was thinking the same as the top-level comment you responded to - before the pandemic I was already quite bad at making time for adventure, exercise, seeing my friends etc. I was new in the workforce and putting all my mental energy into my job. IMO the lockdowns and WFH has been great for my work life but not so much for any other facet of it.
It's going to take me a good while to get used to getting out more, being active, scheduling things to do with friends...
