And for many, half an hour primping in order to be seen in public. I guess if you're still in vid convos that somewhat still applies, but for others, now you can lay around in your underwear and stink and still get work done.

My wife was talking about this recently. She used to wake up at 5:30AM everyday, take a shower, blowdry her hair and style it, put on makeup, and prep her lunch by 7AM. Then she'd set out on her 1.5 hour commute to the office.

Once we started working from home, all of that extra time went to sleeping well and relaxing.

3 hours a day of unpaid time just to get ready for work.... we were far overdue for a shift in the system.

If you have complicated health problems that can increase the amount of time done "primping" as well. I generally have to be awake three to four hours before I have to be anywhere and it's a fucking nightmare.
