I moved closer to my job during the pandemic, meaning I got 25 minutes of biking every day to get to and from work (this is in a small-ish Swedish town). I also live a lot closer to just about the only workout I can tolerate: swimming. My son goes to a preschool about 4 minutes away instead of 10 minutes in the wrong direction (meaning I had to drive 10 minutes in the wrong direction, and then 20 minutes to work). It has made me value one thing: simplicity. For me, I lack the inner drive of some people. I NEED the simplicity of the life I have now. Especially since I am getting a new kid. I have colleagues that commute for 3h every day. For me that feels like a waste of life - but everyone is different. For them that might be the simple solution.
