It does make sense depending on your situation. In a typical US car-dependent cities, yeah, maybe commute is a big productivity killer. Having said that, pushing work all the time also lead to burn out so at some point the mundane tasks become decompressing time (only if you can appreciate sitting idle in traffic; everyone is different). I live in a city where multiple grocery stores exist within 5 minutes of each other and I do enjoy doing mundane tasks outside my professional life. Those tasks made me pause, clear my mind, and escape the bubble that we called "work" (yes, work itself is a bubble).
