Time is the only resource that is truly a scarce commodity - no matter what you can never buy or trade for more. I luckily live close enough to my work that my commute is short, so I alternate between driving and biking. When I bike, I feel I'm using my time wisely because it's a half hour I don't have to spend working out later - I've turned my commute into a time saver (and money saver - no gym membership). When I had a longer commute audio books were the best thing ever. The time passes by and you end up using your commute actually doing something - listening to a book and hopefully getting something out of it. My view of commute time is that it’s a waste.
