In my last post I wrote about how the daily commute not only wastes more than 100 hours of the average American’s year, but often creates stress that spills over at home.

I don’t know about you, but I despise waiting in line, especially when what I’m waiting in line for is a big, steaming bowl of more stress. Isn’t there something better we can do with our time?

Luckily, online meeting and conferencing technology is now letting thousands of workers, including yours truly, avoid the rush hour and the stress that accompanies it. Even working from home one day a week makes a big impact in my quality of life. It’s not bad for the environment either.
