This resonates with me. For about 18 months I commuted to work through public transport and I had to adhere to bus/metro timings or risk reaching home couple of hours late and earn the wrath of family. This meant two things 1) I drastically cut down on non-productive tasks while at office and 2) I often had to get up from desk with solved but half-finished work. So when I reached work the next day I didn't have to think what to do, I had an extremely well scoped work to start the day. It's as if a chef walking into kitchen finds all the cutting/dicing done and recipe laid out in front, he just needs to start cooking. The net result being it was perhaps the most productive period of my career and it coincided with the hyper growth phase of the startup I was working for.
