I remember when working in my business that I would spend an hour each way to work, mostly stuck in traffic thinking WHY?.. Why am i wasting so much time sitting here, so i used the time wisely listening to podcasts to feed my brain with ways to change my perception on what was deemed "this is normal"
For others too, I can't imagine how frustrating that would be to do 5 days a week (I only did it 3 days), spending so much time away from your family, looking after your health, catching up with friends, or just doing whatever you want with YOUR life.
On average we work 76,800 hours in our lives.. PLUS some of us spend 1000's of extra commuting ... We only have one life, if there were a better way, why wouldn't you look at changing the "normal"
