KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — During a time when so many are working from home, mental health experts are encouraging people to create a "fake commute."
Before the pandemic, waking up, getting ready, commuting to and from work was normal. But, when working from home started, many were robbed of their alone time before cracking open the computer.
"The issue really is when we're working from home, we immediately step into work," Ben Harrington, the CEO of the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee said.
