Netbox was a total game changer for me, both at work and at home. It’s overkill for a homelab, sure, but its still an incredibly valuable tool. I highly recommend giving it a chance.
There are also a couple plugins available that will auto-generate interactive diagrams that you can tweak before exporting, which should scratch that visual itch.
One company I was at allowed me to primarily WFH as an accommodation, with the condition that I would appear in-office as needed. Worked out pretty well.
I also struggle with “out of sight, out of mind”, so having an extra monitor at my office workstation could be considered a reasonable accommodation.
Another example would be providing noise canceling headphones or a more private/secluded workspace to help you retain focus.
Keep in mind that the outcome of requesting accommodations like the above examples will largely depend on the company you work for, and the type of work you do. Some places will play ball, others might tell you to pound sand. Always worth a shot, though - imho.
