Answered: Does anyone else feel desk work is more tiring than physical work?

I work in an office part time and then work at home and I actually find both the office work in the main company office and the work at home in my home office mentally taxing.

I'm on the computer for 8 hours a day with only a few breaks in between, unless I need to use the toilet other than eating and taking a break.

Thankfully our boss is really nice and if we really are feeling mentally exhausted and frustrated, he allows us to simply get up, even when on the clock and walk out the door and take a break.

It has really helped me and his other workers with productivity and the workers including myself are less likely to quit.

He's an understanding boss and the only boss that I really like.

He understands that his workers mental health is also important as well as our overall health and we focus better once we get away from our desks and computers even for a bit.
