I missed the meditative hour driving back home to calm down and get the stuff out of my head

My business coach made much the same observation right at the start of the Pesky Pandemic. He is a very smart cookie but he hadn't realised this subtle side effect of remote working.

It is normal for him to have back-to-back meetings all day long separated only by a car journey between them. Come remote working and that buffer time disappeared. With it, so did his time to reflect on the meeting he had left and mentally recharge a bit before the next meeting. Had he not recognised this early and taken some corrective action, I am pretty sure he would have become seriously ill.
