#12: Farewell to the Endless Commutes

The daily grind has us all dreaming of ways to claw back some precious time. So, when it comes to meeting up with someone, some might play a cheeky maneuver: claim you’re double the distance away and offer to meet halfway, which, by a funny coincidence, is exactly where you are.

It’s a bit like a magician’s trick of hand, except the only thing disappearing is unnecessary travel time. This little ruse isn’t exactly a high road of honesty, but it’s a tempting shortcut to reclaiming your day. Just be cautious—use this tactic sparingly and never with those who might pop by unannounced.
