What have you realized you can do without in the course of staying inside?

I've been experimenting with no deodorant. If I swap clothes 'after work' and then go for a walk, I can do that and wear the same clothes two days running. I think there is some amount of sweat smell, but I'm not sure that there is enough to warrant going back to it when I go back to work (however, the vagaries of the work air-conditioning may necessitate it).

An interesting experiment. I have discovered doing similar ones that, really, I am better off for American noses with augmentation, but that's my milieu and my sweat, not you and yours.

While I'm at home with family, and the most exercise I'm doing is a brisk walk, I reckon I'm okay. It will be very interesting to see how things change when I'm back in the office and/or doing more energetic exercise.

ETA: the first couple of days were quite smelly, and the weekend I was not feeling great and didn't shower for two days wasn't great, but my body seems to have settled down since. So I don't know whether that means that there has been a shift in body flora.
