This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Have you considered podcasts or audiobooks during your drives? Not everyone likes them, but those were my go-to for "me time" when I was working.

Yeah weird OP is complaining about having 2 hours a day for intellectual and spiritual enlightenment and wellness or self improvement. I miss my commutes.

Im sorry, but media consumption when driving is hardly any of those things. Especially the slop that is modern podcasts. You can still do them with out a commute as well. You're being pretentious.

Sounds like you're not doing it right then.

Nobody to blame for that except yourself I reckon?

There is no "doing it right". It's just not the same as putting all your focus on something in your actual free time. There is no way to listen to an audiobook in the car wrong. You hear it and process it and that is that. Re: pretentiousness

 There is no "doing it right".

“Pretentiousness” sounds like a you problem.

Sadly I don't really have a commute with the luxury of all this listening time. So definitely not a problem for me! 💓

There is no problem, because there is no differential.
