I'm wondering if there might be a lifehack of going into a virtual space to get more space. Has anyone tried this?
Surprisingly many offices found an increase in productivity in remote and hybrid work though, it came at a cost of longer hours and night schedules. A part of me is terrified of what VR work would look like. Having your boss being able to see what you're looking at and what you're doing is not a very comforting thing.

Do you have any personal tech projects that you could dump in favor of some nontechnical activity, so you could get out of the office more, and maybe feel less oppressed when you're there?
(Note: I'm super biased here and like, 80% of my current philosophy on tech is just getting rid of small scale experimental hacky stuff, or if it's cool enough to keep doing, keeping it contained and not building it into your life, and I realize a lot of people deeply enjoy being surrounded by custom things made for one person).
VR is, in my opinion, a walled garden being sold to companies looking to justify some budgets. I'd explain but my post looks negative enough already, it is left as an exercise to the reader.
