Thanks again everyone! I just wanted to provide people in this thread with an update - not a day has gone by so far that I haven't been on the bike for at least 45 minutes. During the week, I ride 20 minutes in the morning before work, 20 minutes at lunch time, then, when possible, another 20-60 minutes after work with my significant other who just picked up her own Trek FX1 (hers came with rim brakes at a cheaper price).
Since getting the bike, my productivity while working remotely has increased dramatically. I think it's having a very positive impact on my mental health. I can feel my mind is somehow more focused after a quick 20 minute ride and I am procrastinating a lot less.
Soon, I want to plot out a nice route nearby that I can ride for more of a real workout.
