  • I define “free time” as “time where I am able to do whatever comes to my mind, within reason”. I cannot scratch my ass in a commuter train, I cannot decide to be alone, I cannot decide to meet a friend while commuting, I cannot play sports in a car, I cannot decide to take a nap on the highway, and so on and so forth.

    Therefore, commuting time is not free time. It is time where I am not 100% occupied with some task, true, but tbh I could describe a lot of work days in the same way.



  • If I am not intentionally hurrying up, getting some caffeine into me, waiting for it to kick in, showering, dressing, and performing all these little maintenance things a body needs to continue functioning and look presentable takes about an hour, yes.

    that 1hr commute can be audiobooks

    Yeah, sure, but: that is still 1h spent doing things to distract you from an environment you don’t want to be in

    Edit: apparently my first sentence was not clear enough: Sure, I could hurry up. But I don’t want to. I enjoy not having to hurry every waking moment of my life. Making, drinking and enjoying a coffee is one of those things that keep me from ending up in a padded cell.
