Title: Sucked it up and starting taking the train to work
Post by: Abe on August 20, 2014, 07:23:11 PM

I finally got off my butt and woke up an hour earlier (5:15) to take the train to work. Now I don't have to sit in traffic for 1.5 hours on the way home like a fool. Bonus: turns out you can train yourself to wake up at exactly the right time to get off. Extra bonus: cheaper than gas. I can't do this when I"m on call, so have to keep a car, but every other day it works out great.

Nice, getting off is great motivation for waking up.

You can sleep, relax, read the paper, and collect your thoughts while everyone else is in traffic!
