Get yourself a short bike commute. I did pre-pandemic and it was amazing. I’ve never had a commute longer than 30 minutes by bike in my professional life. I always much preferred living in the smallest cheapest apartment I could find near a place with a lot of jobs.

Pandemic royally fucked over that lifestyle.

Or you can, y'know, just go for a bike ride before and after work. Just the starting and ending points will be your home, rather than an office.

My apartment is too small for me to want to be there for both work and after work hours.

I already walk to work, because working remotely doesn't mean necessarily working from home, and I could do that even if I worked at home.

Yeah, I switched to a coworking space about a year ago. I still hate remote work but having a nice building to go and work it makes it tolerable.
