My last words to you if I must die tomorrow 064:

We cannot freeze time. Human created the concept of actual time by carefully dividing a physical day into tiny incremental units. However in most cases, we focus too much on the classically defined time, like: "it takes 40 minutes for me to get to Union sq", "I need at least a day to finish this book." Think again, if you do both tasks separately, you are very much in bad hands, why? Riding public transportation is low intensity activity, where not much of your brain nor physical energy is required. Have you not seen subway sleepers? You can combine some other low intensity activities to beat the wasted time on current one. Truth that many think commuting everyday to and from work is a great deal of time lost. That is also why some people would rather pay for an apartment closer to work. The trade off is most obviously money. We are now living in a world that time appeared to be more and more precious, the only way out of this rat race is to apply efficiency techniques. Let time work for you, chasing it will not do.
