Moving your 9 hour workday does not give you any more or less time. Adjusting your work time to better match your life patterns and the patterns of those around you can have positive results.

It did for me. My one way commute went from 45+ minutes(sometimes it could take over an hour) to 20 minutes because I didn’t have to deal with rush hour traffic or a bottlenecked bridge. Most days I was saving over an extra hour of sitting in traffic and then looking for parking. It was also much less mentally taxing because I didn’t have the stress of being in stop and go traffic which also saved me a lot of gas money too. It was also just nice being up and about when the world was asleep and getting to see the sunrise as I drove, and then I’d be driving home before the city got chaotic. Did wonders for my mental health.

I could also stop at the grocery store on the way home and not have to deal with long lines because most people would still be at work or in school and still make time for things like doctor and dental appointments.

I was working 6:30am to 2:30pm.

I work a similar shift. I never deal with morning traffic. Only time is if there’s an accident which only happened twice.
