The Costs of Commuting

The Costs of Commuting

By Emma Heaton on 19th May, 2011

Every morning the alarm clock has to be set early enough to accommodate your commute to work. The lengthy process of getting up, getting ready and starting the drive requires a large amount of effort. Decorated Shed can remove all that by providing you with an office in your garden meaning the commute is simply getting up and walking across the back yard. This saves time and gives you the ability to work in an idyllic atmosphere that is just metres away form your home. Away from the congestion and costs of commuting it seems like the perfect solution to all the pains of getting there and back from the office.

This cost cutting solution can save money on petrol or public transport. It provides a hub of escapism without having to go very far. As it is external to the house it is beneficial, you have the ability to focus and work with minimum distraction in your own peaceful area. With the high house prices it has meant that many people have to commute even further as they live so far away. This has a detrimental effect on the environment as everyone’s carbon footprint is increasing. According to Datamonitor if all the contact centre agents did a 20 mile return journey to work they would produce over nine million tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.

A garden office will significantly reduce all of these issues and at the same time pose a relaxed working environment away from the busyness of office life. The effect on your personal health and well being will be somewhat improved as the stress of a commute is gone and you can create your own personal tranquil space in the pleasant comforts of your garden.
