I did a PhD, a postdoc, and I worked from home for a little while. Home time mostly seems unproductive. I find it useful not to regret and just to try and do a little bit more each day.

It depends what you mean by "regret". Some reflection on the mistakes you made is necessary to correct your course and move in the right direction.

Okay, i'll buy that. Reflection without regret and self recrimination.
