@thor When I was hiding from COVID, I've moved to the country. I had electricity there, running water albeit not hot water and even gas which was scarce, so everyday tasks required much more effort, esp. cooking.
I had a laptop with me, but I didn't use it that much, even when I had spare time I preferred reading.
It did make me happier in a way, but I think such life is unsustainable unless you want to move out of city completely.
Finding proper balance is the right thing to do though.
