The Myth of the Productive Commute
Culture Study,

Recommendation
Commuting to work can be a soul-destroying waste of time. Nevertheless, as COVID-19 forced many employees to work from home, many knowledge workers found that forgoing their commute equated to lost personal time during the day. Journalist Anne Helen Petersen analyzes this paradox. She encourages you to replace your physical commute with a “mental commute” to bookend your day and to prevent your work encroaching on your leisure time.
