How Do You Spend Your Saved Commute Time?

October 31, 2007 · Filed Under WFH

Given my 70 minutes a day saved from telecommuting established in the previous post, here is where I see that time being consumed:

1. Sleep. I probably get 1-2 hours more sleep per night than the average person, including my wife. I believe that adequate (or even abundant) sleep makes me more effective in the things that I do during the day and I’m convinced that aging is slowed slightly and shows less on my face than my haggard-looking, sleep-deprived commuting friends out there (I still get carded at 39 years of age when buying alcohol).

2. Cook a “real” dinner. My wife is the beneficiary of a mostly “from scratch” dinner every night. While not extravagant, it is usually healthy and complete in nutrition. If you haven’t bought a steam oven yet for your home - I highly recommend it.

3. Hobbies. Blogging is certainly one of my newest hobbies and having extra time per day to pursue that and interests helps me recharge my batteries.

Everyone has their own thoughts on how they (would) spend their extra time. I’d be curious to hear from others.
