Listen "Putting the Brakes on Commuting"
Episode Synopsis
Who didn’t dread the commute to work? Getting dressed, scarfing down breakfast, the traffic, the crowds, the anxiety. And that’s on a good day. In a different world where we can go to work in our pajamas and work entirely from home, a lot of us are actually missing the commute to work. In this episode of Remote Space, host Doug Thomas chats with Natalie Singer-Velush & Lukas Velush, both former reporters and who now work as a Senior Marketing Communications Manager and a Content Program Manager at Microsoft. As two busy parents with careers in tech, Natalie and Lukas help remind us that commuting was not all that bad. In reflecting on how they used their travel time to chat, plan family events or coordinate logistics, travel time created a buffer of personal time before officially starting their workday. In addition, Natalie chats about how recent data around commute time is encouraging technology to focus in on wellbeing and productivity. Listen in and find out how a dreaded daily occurrence has now become a reminisced pastime.
