    Well, if you take an 8 hour shift with a typical commute of 2 hours total (there and back), paired with 8 hours of sleep, as well as shower, dress, equip for work, and eat a cooked meal for dinner, you’re looking at 3 hours of free time. 3 hours of life per workday. Paired with the commonality of working adults working 2 hours more, and sleeping up to 4 hours less because of either reclaiming free time, factoring in dating, working secondary and tertiary jobs, insomnia or otherwise, and those 3 hours could be no hours, or exhaustion leading to the time being spent just lounging, no hobbies. That is one reason why I don’t agree with this system.

      If you travel an hour each way for work, you are an outlier. A typical commute is under 30 minutes (in the US, at least)

        I have a really hard time believing that statement. Do you have a source or is that half hour average a vibe-stat?
