2. One More Rep

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

3. Turn Off the AC

But rather, turn off Netflix 15 minutes before you normally do, go to bed earlier, and then wake up earlier.
