If you live in a big city like São Paulo, you know that the amount of time wasted in traffic is very high. But this figure may even frighten you: according to a studyOn average, São Paulo residents spend almost 3 hours a day in traffic.
To try to reduce this time, which is often spent commuting, one of the solutions is to choose to live near your workplace. And this choice can guarantee a number of advantages, which you can see below!
1. saving time and money
Spending fewer hours in traffic is certainly a valuable saving for those who have other things to do on a daily basis or simply want to take some time out to have breakfast more calmly or enjoy a late afternoon at home.
But as well as saving time, living close to work can also be an interesting strategy for saving money. Fuel, car maintenance and even the cost of public transport tickets or the amount paid for app cars can be saved during the month and, at the end of the year, can make a difference to the budget.
2. More productivity at work
Anyone who commutes every day knows how stressful it can be. Arriving at work in the morning after having already experienced tense moments in your means of transportation can hinder productivity.
Mental health is compromised when the routine already includes stress early on, which can lead to difficulties concentrating, anxiety and even depression. That's why living close to work can also help eliminate these problems and bring more peace of mind and, consequently, greater performance at work.
3. Free time to do what you need
Taking the kids to school, exercising and having extra time to devote to a hobby, whether it's reading a book or going to the movies during the week. Living close to work can greatly reduce the amount of time you spend commuting, allowing you more free time.
Having a better quality of life necessarily involves having free time both to carry out other day-to-day tasks and to devote to activities that you enjoy doing.
4. Better quality of sleep
Sleep is affected in several ways when it comes to spending a lot of time in traffic. The first of these is the anxiety acquired from the routine, which can make it difficult to go to sleep or cause you to wake up several times a night worried about being late.
Another aspect is the number of hours slept each day. If you live close to work, you can increase this number and get more rest. Remember that experts recommend that adults get between 6 and 8 hours of quality sleep.
