Is your commute about the right length?PeterG wrote:This is a highly underappreciated factor. Too many of us are trying to live the life of a 20th century farmer *and* the life of a 21st century industrial or service worker, simultaneously. It doesn't work very well.Ken wrote:Unless you are actually working the land, the rural life can add a lot of hassle and distance to daily life.

Re: Commute time
I voted 30-45 minutes. It is 15 minutes from my house to the parking area on a good day, but the traffic can be a bear, so I allow more, and then about 15 minutes walking from parking area to building. All in all, it takes about 40 minutes from my door to my desk.

Re: Commute time
I had to pick 3 options. Most days I work from home. Sometimes I go into a rented office for my side business that is a few minutes from home to co-work with my colleagues there. Sometimes I go into our regional office which is an hour away. Sometimes I go to the head office, which is a 10 hour flight away. Sometimes I go to a client, the next one of which right now is typically in NYC, the last one of which was in Atlanta.
Perhaps this explains some of the hustle and bustle.

Re: Commute time
I mostly work at my desk downstairs so no commute. My farthest client is about an hour every three weeks.
Josh, I have also wondered what you do?

I guess if your commute is 46-59 minutes you’ll just have to mark other.-

Makes perfect sense to me.Josh works for a government agency. (Typically FBI.) He is working to entrap Mennonites for tax fraud or other financial misdeeds.
