First ill preface that I know i am REALLY spoiled to even have a wfh job. Im honestly amazed something like this exists.

Which leads me to my question. Im good at my job, its a great company, I get nothing but good feedback. But honestly, its easy. Really if anyone wanted to learn, they could do it. I feel guilty pretty much everyday at how easy it is. But the fact that its easy also makes it really difficult to put in 45 hours of real work. I try to use some of the time for educational videos or something related to work but honestly with my adhd mind, 9 hours is a lot unless im SUPER busy.

All my previous work has been jobs running around all day, fixing problems, managing people, which I dont want to go back to necessarily but sometimes I miss it. I work very well in chaos.

I have tried meds to zoink me out and they do work, but I prefer not to be dependent.

    Sounds like you just need to find some ways to stay busy. My go-to is to either develop yourself or research your industry.

    The first option involves getting more education that relates to your field. Classes, courses, webinars, etc. Build your skills on the company dime. What you learn of yours to keep, so learn all you can.

    The second option is better suited to forums, magazines, publications, and news articles. What is going on with your industry and peers? Being on the cutting edge can involve a lot of just sitting and reading. Just write up a quick summary and save it for future reference or to justify the time spent.
