I've been trying to cut down how long it takes me to get to work each day. Started by checking traffic apps before leaving, then switched up my route a bit, and even adjusted my departure time slightly. Anyone got better tricks or shortcuts?
Yeah, tweaking departure times definitely helps, but honestly, there's only so much you can shave off. Have you thought about carpooling or biking occasionally? Might sound inconvenient at first, but it could actually save more time (and stress) than you'd think...

Totally agree with this. I started biking to work twice a week last summer, and honestly, it was a game changer. At first, I worried about arriving sweaty or tired, but once I figured out a good route and packed a quick freshen-up kit (just some wipes, deodorant, and a change of shirt), it became second nature. Plus, the morning ride really clears my head—way better than sitting in traffic. Worth giving it a shot, even occasionally...
