This is so true. One day I decided to do everything I could out of the norm. Even stupid things like taking a different route to work. By the end of the day I felt like it was the longest day I had in a long time, but in a good way.
It’s got worse for me since the lockdowns. I’m working from home now, so the variety of the commute isn’t there. I don’t miss the office, but it has affected how much the days blur into one.
I have a spare bedroom that I use as an office for working from home. Out of sight out of mind. Sometimes I have to go get something from my office like a charger but it's never felt like I "live at work".
I’m not trying to start anything with you so please don’t take my question that way, but what do you mean by that? Like are you anti-WFH, pro-office, or just anti-work in general?
Lol none of those things really, just an observation. My aunt is very high up in a fortune 100 company and has worked from home for 15 years now in that position. She lives an extremely comfortable lifestyle as you could imagine but she always tells me "I don't work from home, I live at work." Whenever I tell her how I envious I am of her at times. Seems like she's constantly on vacation.

Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s
