> Remote work has given me almost two more hours of life a day (that I'd otherwise spend commuting)

Only that I now spend most of that extra time for more work & I'm behind 1.5 years on all my podcasts

Those podcasts must not have been all that interesting to begin with if you're not listening to them on your own time.

This is pretty much my take when people tell me how much better commuting is on the bus or train. "You can read a book or listen to podcasts"

Come on, I don't do those things in my free time, I'd much prefer more free time from working remotely than fake "free time" on the bus.

Personally, I use the time for a little more sleep.
