Just finished a year of 2 hr each way commuting. Started off

Ok. I'd commuted to Amsterdam (a bit shorter) for four years a long time ago but I was younger then. This one was fine for a while. After about four or five months I got sick of it and gradually reduced the number of days in the office. Stayed in hotels when I had an early meeting as getting in early was a real nightmare. Was throughly sick of it when I finished a couple of weeks ago hence me now just taking some time off.

Best parts are being throughly awake as soon as you set foot in the building. Worst part is essentially getting home and just tidying, eating then trying to wind down within an hour to get to bed and get up for work again.

I ended up doing f**k all at weekends except resting or doing prep work for the following week to save a few early trips or additional meetings etc.

Takes its toll.
