    Yup, agreed. My “home office” is just the guest bedroom, and when we have guests, I move my desk to my bedroom (really quick since I have everything mounted to the desk). So if I need a moment to myself, I go in that room and lock the door. But most of the time, I just go to my bed and put my headphones on (big, sound-isolating cans), since if I’m in my “office,” I often think of work stuff.

    When I’m at work and need some time, I don’t go to my car, I go for a short walk outside my building and find someplace secluded.

    And that’s honestly always how I’ve been. When I got my first car, I didn’t have a cell phone, so sitting in my car was incredibly boring and I’d prefer to be almost anywhere else. I’d occasionally bring a book to read if I thought I’d be delayed or something, but even then, I’d usually prefer to sit on a bench or something outside. I have just never seen my car as a place I’d ever want to be, it’s just the thing I take to get somewhere I want or need to be.

    I wonder if I’m just weird, or if it’s a younger generation thing, because I do see people hanging out in their cars somewhat often.
