I personally find it more relaxing. The idea of being on the train, or bus fills me with despair. Crammed into a can kills my soul. I walk in the morning with my travel mug and sit near a park. I get home before 9am and start my day very very relaxed. I get more done, as meetings are more regulated. Todo lists are clearer and well thought out. In all it is better for me.

Oh and I see my kids way more.
