I don't see the obsession with finding as many possible minutes to
"do work" as possible.  Why can't you ride the canal reading a book
or *chatting* with someone?  I'm sure "work" will be waiting when
you get there...

Will your work day be SHORTENED by an equivalent amount of time you
spent working while traveling?

[It must be awful to be a regular employee, nowadays -- your boss
expecting to be able to contact you on YOUR phone (that you, no
doubt, carry on your person 24/7!).  If I was still working a
9-to-5, I'd have a "work phone" -- that I left IN MY DESK!]
