I work from home now and only visit the office (voluntarily) once a week to socialize. I’m so exhausted when I get home. I sometimes wonder how I managed to do that five times a week commuting more than an hour each way and still do extracurricular activities after work for 10+ years when I was younger.
true, especially the doom scrolling–fucking horrible for mental health; i have to remind myself to knock it off when i catch myself looking at the news too long
In graduate school I used to go out drinking six nights a week, the kind of thing that would start at 5 pm and end at 2 or 3 in the morning at somebody’s house doing bong hits. Thirty years later, I would choose waterboarding before I put myself through that again.

i think the negative effects of spending 10 hours a week and 40 hours a month sitting in the car are a lot more damaging than people want to believe
The 200+ hours a month sitting at a desk, in front of the tv, or doom scrolling, are probably far more damaging than the 40 hours in traffic.
At least while WFH one can move and stretch.

A little of the above and a lot of not wanting to starve to death.
