I found when I was walking to/ from work life was easier. (About 40 min each way).
Was going well with that but got sick, took ages to recover the it was wet for a couple weeks now I am starting scratch. But need to start again.
For me that 40min 'bookend' means 40 mins for myself in the morning to prepare for the day then 40min at the end of the day to reset between work and home. Without this my brain is always on.
My work is best described as operational support, so reactively solving problems, or proactively preventing problems.
Same same at home only at a different level.
