> I intend to start a couple of for profit side businesses

Not saying this applies to you, but a thing a lot of people are going to find out is how little they actually accomplish with the extra time. It's so much easier (and fun!) to dream about going to the gym, having a garden, and starting a business while stuck in traffic than to actually follow through and do those things.

I don’t know about that. Start small work up from there. I started with just a small walk each day, fast forward a few months and I’ve taking up ruck marches and lost all sorts of weight. I’m exceedingly undisciplined.

I would encourage anyone to take a bit of that free time and take a step in the right direction.

Yeah, I'm saying it's pretty clear most people won't even do this.

It’s one step closer to following through at least compared to daydreaming in traffic
Debateably better to daydream about success than fail and realize you couldn't do it. In the first option you can at least blame someone else.
