Motorcycle. If I'm going to be forced to drive to and from work, I might as well enjoy it.

Same here. The commute doesn't seem quite as long vs. when I'm in a car.

Sertraline. It's helped hugely with depression and anxiety, though I think Covid helped with the latter as well. I struggle to feel anything much these days but it's much better than feeling low and anxious.
A ceramic non stick pan.
Nothing ever burns and cleaning even when frying something with cheese in there is just a scoop of hot water and ten seconds with the soft side of a kitchen sponge.
What's amazing is the misinformation spread by marketing departments over the years making people think they need these elaborate pans. I have a decent set of cookware I've acquired over the years but ultimately I use my twelve year old 10" carbon steel pan 99% of the time (I cook almost every meal every day so I use it a lot). It's unfortunate that basic home cooking skills aren't something that's handed down over the generations. I mean, feeding yourself should be pretty high on the list of things to learn before you leave home.
What they never tell you in cookbooks is how to manage heat and mentally calculate how much and for how long to apply to an ingredient. It's difficult to put into print but, suffice to say, once you "learn this one simple trick", cooking with any cookware is trivial.

Knitting needles.
Not only have they been essential in breaking the habit of reaching for my phone while I'm meant to be watching my TV/monitor, but I also end up with a practical, useful, personalised product at the end
Glerups. Greatest slippers I have ever worn.
My fileserver. I have more media than I could ever need and plenty of room for more.
CPAP
An 18 button mouse for my PC. 12 buttons on the side which I've mapped my function keys to. It's excellent for gaming, so many things you can do without even using your left hand on the keyboard.

A swiss backpack. Loved it since I got it for Christmas, the most useful item I will ever own
