Between that or biking which doubles as exercise I have been trying to argue that cars are the true waste of time but I have been highly inefectual in convincing others.
You can use that chart to measure anything, though. I don't commute, but I swim every morning. The approximately 30 days a year I spend face down in a tank of water, making repetitive motions, thinking about nothing other than breathing... starting to feel like a bad life choice, man.
...but I pay $30 a month to swim. It gets worse when you add the time spent with weights.
"Enjoy" is a difficult word. I get really rabbitty if I'm not physically exhausted. If I did what I enjoyed I'd be a fat lard and a murderer. I'm just not sure that this "how many days of your life are wasted ... on hold, in line, on the toilet" is a sane type of thought. I mean, so far, I've slept away about 18 years, man.
You mean the time where I get to listen to music of a kind and volume of my own choosing, in a comfy seat, in a climatized cabin, and I can smoke and drink and pick my nose in peace?
I live in a huge metroplex and taking public transportation, besides its other drawbacks, it would also take me three hours, vs. 20 to 40 minutes depending on traffic to travel between home and work.
Yeah one of my favorite investments was a nice sound system+subwoofers for my car.i blast music everywhere I go, makes both short and long car rides fun
Oh I know the feeling. Someti feel like a hermit then I remember I do work 7am to 5:30 m-f just its out of my house and I don't have to drive 30 minutes away to some random place
Which is why I make a point to keep and drive a car that I enjoy.
Being able to actually look forward to a drive rather than dreading the commute makes a big impact on how much I enjoy my mornings/afternoons. It's just nice to sit in a car that you like.

One thing I like about taking the bus is that it helps me maintain being an active reader, as such my commute isn't even half wasted.

I can't read while moving: makes me feel sick; I listen to audio books instead.

I have a 40 minute commute and I almost always listen to an audiobook during the ride. The drive doesn't bother me at all.

swimming is good for your health though and hopefully you enjoy it. commuting is usually unpaid and not very productive

Isn't it great?
My commute is the 7 steps it takes me to walk from my bed to my office.

My job is commuting. Once I finish commuting, I have to start over and commute some more.
