Fortunately for me my commuting time is about 30 minutes and 20 when schools are in recess. Also this is due to the fact that I leave home at 7:00am the latest and I am able to adjust the working schedule at work. Living in a city like Miami, it’s hard to have a commuting time of 30 minutes or less with this city kind traffic (HELL). Commuting time is one of the factors to consider when looking for job, when you have one, when not, you will consider even going to a different city, state, etc .to be able to work. Some people have to commute more than the 30 minutes Andy’s rule, because of the opportunities they had found. Moreover those that have to commute over an hour might be getting at their jobs kind of tired of this commuting time, and the time to start being productive is dramatically affected by this commuting time. Telecommuting should be the answer, but how well accepted is this practice. This might be part of another discussion. In the mean time drive safely, never drive when you are sleepy, and if you are sleepy, put in practice the POWER NAP, stop in a secure place, and rest and get home safe.
