Interesting enough, my "commute" is now walking the dog around the area, starting in the kitchen ( or whereever the dog - a 2 year husky!, is waiting for me ) and ending up in the office "room". The fresh air and the 20-35 mins walk is really ideal to kick start my brain for the work. Ideally the walk is without the phone, this helps me to really disconnect.

I have heard this called a faux-mute, catchy name

I do something similar, sometimes even riding to work and back without ever going inside.
I find that it really helps my energy levels and mental state in the same way my commute used to. Obviously, it takes a bit more discipline, but I actually look forward to it - a chance to check in on the neighborhood etc.
Another hint is it do something new on the route every day. It has grown to be quite a mental challenge to figure out a street or alley (or way of hooking things up) that I haven't taken before!
