Leaving Early May Cost You Time

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the time-for-a-telecommute dept.

markmcb writes "OmniNerd has an interesting traffic article demonstrating how leaving early for work may cost you time. Brandon Hansen uses a year's worth of data collected on his urban drive to and from work along with statistical analysis to show the effects of varying departure times and considering external factors like nearby school districts' schedules. In the end, a minor shift in his departure time results in saving driving hours equivalent to over a third of the vacation time given annually by his employer."

    My commute is seven minutes.

    There are no other routes I can take to cut that down.

    (I moved to be four miles from work)

    The hell with traffic. Get an apartment close to your job and walk to work instead of being another gas-guzzler. It's good for your health too. Suburbia is a waste of time between the commute and taking care of a totally useless lawn and living quarters vastly larger than necessary.
