While you’re at home having your morning coffee, you envision a productive, busy, yet stress-free day ahead.

But something peculiar happens during your commute to work.

This morning, I went to the supermarket around the same time most people head to the office.

What did 90% of commuters have in common? They were all staring at their phones.

Maybe reading the news, maybe texting, or worse—scrolling through work emails. The thought is, if you answer one or two emails now, there’s less to tackle at the office.

But what do you also see? Reminders of upcoming (annoying) meetings, impossible project deadlines, late-night emails from your boss.

Your stress level spikes before you’ve even arrived at work.

The commute has become an extension of work – a time to get ahead of the curve.

But what if it were a moment for yourself instead? A break before the storm? A chance to unwind and let your mind wander.

Regenerative commuting.

Not giving up more time for your employer, but reclaiming a valuable moment for yourself.

A break you didn’t even know you needed.
