What are some examples of something more productive? Hobbies and family time?

  Why is the question about being more productive? Yes, family time especially is important to me. I only get to spend 18 years or so with each kid; enjoying them, giving them love, and guiding them through/preparing them for life. I want to prioritize that. Some day, I'll give anything for the chance to have more time with them. Trying to keep that in mind while they are young.

  Literally anything that isn't sitting in a car burning fuel if the same work can be accomplished without that use of time and resources. Commuting is an externalized cost that gets absorbed by workers, city infrastructure, and the environment.

  This is a failure of our understanding of value in our current culture, which we almost always equate to productivity. In a human society, agnostic of economics or politics, productivity would be the measure of ones ability to support their family unit , extended family, and community both in terms of physical support (food, clothing, shelter, child rearing, education, etc.) And emotionally support (cultural interactions, familiar interactions, social interactions). This is the fundamental nature of our social order, but with the advent and rise of modern American capitalism, everything must equate to a dollar amount. And that in a simple sense works for helping drive an economy, but in the complex sense of actual society - it devalues the foundational structures that make up human society.

  The lack of commuting alone brought a significant dip to all the climate doom lines
