As much as I love driving, I hate commuting. People should give more consideration as to how they can reduce their commute time. This includes living closer to work, driving at off-peak traffic hours, choosing efficient routes...

I'll probably end up riding a bicycle to work, which will double my commute time to 30min. The extra hour spent per day is a lot, but that time will be spent accomplishing 2 things; commuting and exercising.
