Can’t focus

I have the option to work from home (which I try to do to save on gas from an hour + long commute each day), and at 32 hours a week, this feels like a great way to have work/life balance.

However, when I'm working remotely, getting all of my billable hours in each day is a really challenging task. I have diagnosed ADHD, and even with my medicine, I seriously struggle to work an 8 hour day from home.

My attempt today left me with 3.25 billable hours, and I now have to distribute those throughout the rest of the week, definitely taking my work week into Friday.

It was sunny out today, and I kept trying to work but looked longingly at the sun but didn't get out in it. Something something self sabotage... When I'm in the office it can be hard to focus because of the hustle and bustle and folks having loud conversations that are distracting, but l generally am able to spend 8 hours there and get 8 billable hours in when I drive in.

Unfortunately, I had a car totaled a few months back. I was driving home from work at night when a deer unexpectedly bounded into my path on a dark highway. Even though I am more productive in the office, I am hesitant to go in and drive back so late. With the sun still setting around 4:45, it's really hard to make it back home before dark.

Am I in the feelings stage about it or am I in the solutions oriented phase? Hard to say, perhaps a little bit of both. I don't like this feeling of throwing off my work week so significantly. Thank you for the space to vent it out, all! If there are any helpful thoughts anyone has to share, I appreciate your perspectives and kind words.
