Weird - there have been both good and bad things for my mental health. For example working from home has been great and bad at the same time.

- Great because I have more time to myself, am able to relax faster, I have more time to work on my side project or play video games.

- Bad because my routine is really out of wack now. My sleeping patterns are non-existent at times. I feel extremely tired most of the time.

I think part of the exhaustion is that there's no in-between phase from work to home. A commute helps, because I have time to mentally cool down after ending the day. WFH, I get jumped by my kids as soon as I leave my office, but my brain is still working on that software architecture design document.

What helped me was to aim to stop working about 30 minutes before leaving the home office. During that time, just read a book, post on HN, answer/delete emails, all this lighter behavior.
