Covid showed me that the daily ritual of getting up at the same time, getting dressed in proper clothes, and taking a train somewhere all massively helped my mood and level of willingness to engage with life. I can see how, in the absence of responsibilities, it's easy to slowly slide into a rut and become a depressed lump of a human that doesn't want to do anything. I also see that as part of the challenge: how do I stay disciplined enough to be happy, without being dependent on a job to force me out of bed?
