In our recently published conceptual study, we argue that commutes are a source of “liminal space”—a time free of both home and work roles that provides an opportunity to recover from work and mentally switch gears to home.

During the shift to remote work, many people lost this built-in support for these important daily processes. Without the ability to mentally shift gears, people experience role blurring, which can lead to stress. Without mentally disengaging from work, people can experience burnout.

Remote work actually bad, come back to the office.

    WfH but maybe go for a walk or bike ride?

    Riding a train or bus can be nice sometimes, but not during rush hours (especially in underserved :amerikkka: ).

      No, you might enjoy that and then associate it with the good part of life that doesn't involve wage slavery.
