"Quite a lot of people enjoy their commute time. And there’s good behavioral evidence for this because economists have noticed that people live a bit further from work than they optimally should in order to create a chronological buffer between where they work and where they live. We like that decompression time."[1]

While I don't agree with the conclusion of the article (optimizing commute), this pretty much confirms my experience.

I like to stare at my nothing box.[2]
