I drive 181km single journey every week, stay one or two nights and return. As traffic can be challenging, I leave at 05:00 to arrive at 07:00 whereas leaving at 07:00 would add an hour and a half to my commute. When I return, I grab dinner and leave around 18:00, again bypassing rush hours. When driving, I listen to podcasts, not radio, only podcasts. They bring me knowledge and insight. My job at 181km away is awesome, it is not possible to get an equally challenging and satisfying job closer to home. Yes, my commutes are absolutely having a positive impact on my health.
