[Newsletter] Claiming back your time
Hi there,
A recent article we published suggests that if your one-way commute matches the U.S. average of 26 minutes, you’re spending around nine full days a year just getting to and from work. Stretch that to a 60-minute commute, and it becomes nearly 21 days: almost an entire month of your life, every year, spent in traffic or on a train.
Imagine what you could do with that time. More focus, more rest, more moments with the people you love. Whatever your answer, remote work offers a way to reclaim it.
Enjoy today’s reads.
