I like this a lot. I might edit to add a few just for me and what I deal with. I think it could be good to share my own with friends and family

Flexibility of work hours and location definitely goes a long way. One thing COVID did in Ukraine that could be called a positive was set a precedent that we could be working from home all the time and it doesn't hurt the productivity.

Of course, some employers would still ignore that for the sake of their fragile egos and illusion of control, but the place I work at actually reduced the office space to almost half of what it used to be. Unsurprisingly, this also helped when the war started and a lot of employees got displaced.

Maybe it's the depression talking but on an individual basis it feels like vague useless crap. Like yeah would I be able to do stuff or seek help I would. But if I was able to seek help or do activity or idk do fuckin anything I wouldn't be where I am to begin with
