By choosing to drive 40 minutes to work, you can live 10 minutes from a national park or a beach or the rest of your family or a golf course or whatever works for you in your off hours.
Why orient your life around your work?
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoBecause, simplisticly, you probably only get to do the 10 minute journey twice a fortnight but you have to do the 40 minute journey 10 times in that same period. So it's 140mins vs 410mins; you in theory save 3h30m per fortnight by living closer to work. It's actually choosing not to orient your life around work that causes the decision to live closer, thus saving commuting time and overall spending less time on work related activity.
- badpun 8y agoDo you have time and energy to spend time in those places after work on weekdays? I, for the most part, don't. It makes more sense to drive to them once or twice a week on weekends vs living close to them, but having a long commute on weekdays.

Make the things you /want/ to do easy. You'll do the things you /must/ do whether it's easy or hard, but if the things you want to do are hard as well you won't do them ever.
