I work freelance, and have been glued to my couch all day for a long time. I became physically depleted and demoralized, and the money couldn't compensate. In the end, I cut a quarter of my workload and now have at least one afternoon a week (two, some weeks) where I walk at a good pace about 7-10 miles + whatever walking I can get at weekends with my girlfriend.

I was sorry to lose the money, but there was just no other way forward, and I have to say that it's proved worth it. The work that remains, I perform better than before, and my life has more balance.

Working an office job that's been WFH'd, I don't know what the answer is, particularly in the darker winter months (for me, I am resolved to switch to morning walks and working later into the afternoon and early evening).
