> Every Monday morning, Jamila Souffrant starts her work week with a two-hour drive, from Brooklyn, New York, to Morristown, New Jersey. When she pulls into her office, she doesn’t feel exhausted; she feels inspired and energized, thanks to a weekend spent strolling with her family through their secluded, leafy neighborhood. This is like adding a mini-road trip to your daily routine. A coworker at a previous job would commute from somewhere in Indiana to St Louis, MO every day, and he enjoyed it greatly. I've had the misfortune of commuting from Redmond to Tacoma daily - sometimes 2 hours to travel 45 miles - and found it immensely frustrating. An important difference is freedom to travel at highway speeds versus being stuck in stop-and-go traffic.
