    Can’t watch this right now.

    But I saw this and it instantly rang true. When COVID first hit and we started working from home my mental health instantly skyrocketed. I realized the biggest factor was the commute. I’ve never liked driving that much and being able to skip that enormously stressful part of the day did wonders for me.
