For those of you that do your own lawn care....is the couple of hours of isolation the real reason you do it? Or do you take pride in having a nicer lawn than most of the neighbors? Or is it both?

I just love the challenge and seeing the results.
Our property was such a disaster when we bought the house in 2019 and now it has mostly been tamed.
While I love podcasts, I wouldn't even be able to listen to them while mowing, trimming, fertilizing, etc.
The job itself is the reward.

But yes, I tend to overdo it and become obsessive and my wife gets understandably frustrated (two kids well under 2)
