Briefly

The death of the daily commute (and why some parents kinda miss it)
"The built-in alone time during a commute has a positive impact, according to research by the World Economic Forum. That transition time can actually benefit our mental health."
"Now, everything blurs together. You go from intense work meetings to making dinner to answering emails to helping with homework—without a break in between. We are always on."
The shift to remote work has removed the daily commute, which served as a crucial transition period for many individuals. This time allowed for moments of solitude, reflection, and mental recovery. While remote work offers benefits like flexibility and more family time, it has blurred the lines between work and home life. The absence of a commute can lead to feelings of irritability and burnout among parents, as they struggle to manage the demands of work and family without a break.
