I've had commutes as far as 35+ miles / 1 hour, and as short as 1 block, and I can report that shorter is always better. Once you walk outside and cross the street, you're going to work.
You don't say what "difficulties" you had but I suspect that a difficulty solved by making something arbitrarily take 30 minutes longer actually has some other root cause. Nobody complains that sending email is 30 minutes faster than walking to the post office.
You don't say how you're commuting, but a sizable community of people commuting by car has a real burden on society.
- thanatos_dem 8y agoWhen it was South Bay to SF I commuted by driving to Caltrain, taking the train up, and then walking across half of SF. Now I bike most days, unless the weather is crummy or the state is on fire again. The work life balance issue was definitely partially the fault of the culture of the company I was at at the time, but living so close made it much more difficult to avoid. And yeah, that’s an issue of willpower in part, and is the same reason I am not able to work remote or from home. But I don’t think that’s an issue unique to me.
