    1 hour each way.

    Do WFH at least one day a week.
    If you ran you could cut that down to 59 minutes

            ~18 miles e/w, to client every working day.

            Used to be ~160 miles e/w, until I moved closer to client (long story!)

              Only 115 miles. But it's up the M1 with all the rubbish road works.
              Setting the alarm clock on a Sunday night is the lowest point of the week.
              I stay over Mon - Fri.
              Don't believe it, until you see it!

                45 minute drive each way.
                Previous client (when I was still a contractor) 25 minutes drive each way
                Before that 90 minute 'walk - train - tube' and the same in reverse each day

                    Hotel - Chester to York (1.5-2 hours drive)
                    Hotel to Client - 10mins max.

                    I tend to keep any commuting from home to under an hour if possible.

                      I walk from my bedroom to my study each day.

                      Last time I wasn't at home, I did a 2 hour train journey Monday and Friday, five minute walk each day between flat and client.
