I have a thing that I do since years since I live in Vienna. I basically go around to at least 2-3 cafes a day, sit and work in one for a couple of hours, then walk to the next one for 4-5 kms and so on. On a typical day, I walk between 8-11 kms depending on the circuit I choose.
I have never enjoyed office atmospheres and need life/noise around me to be able to concentrate. I'm also fairly restless and need that walking to be able to think / clear my head.
Not the OP, but in a similar situation. It’s amazing how much more time and energy you have available to do other things when you aren’t wasting time and energy (both physical and mental) on a stupid pointless commute.
Negotiate different working hours if you can, I now work 4AM to 12 Noon which gives me all afternoon every day to exercise and work on my own projects.
