Keep me sane

Hi all,
I'm old to journalism, new to freelancing (thankfully by choice and wasn't made redundant) and new to this forum, so thought I'd make a post to say Hiya!
Getting to grips with freelancing is fun and weird, but perhaps the most difficult bit is going from high energy newsroom to home office.
So I wanted to make a thread to introduce myself, and to ask what people do to keep themselves sane when faced with hours alone at their desks?
NB: I have yet to meet a journalist (very much including myself!) who isn't a bit of an oddball, so don't hold back on suggestions! 🙂

Sometimes I enjoyed it but usually, it got to me after a few days. My solution these days (after 10 years of self-employment) is to work from a co-working space. You rent a desk and are automatically part of the community. They also often offer relatively cheap hot desks. Maybe you can find something similar where you live?
