You may have noticed I haven’t posted in a while. Where has Nicole been?

Well the answer is I’ve been commuting! Work has gotten really hectic lately and on top of that, I’ve had more meetings lately where I had to attend in person. So I’ve been driving in more than usual.

This morning I was crawling along on the freeway in heavy traffic and heavy rain. I looked at the clock and it occurred to me if I were working at home I’d have already been working for nearly half an hour - and I wasn’t even at work yet.

It just drove home (no pun intended) how much time is wasted commuting. And when work is busy, the reality is we telecommuters don’t take the time saved avoiding the drive for our own personal use. Rather, we use that time to get our overloaded plates a bit more under control.

So, employers, pay attention. Telecommuting really helps you in tough times get more out of your employees!
