Driving is fun, but for day-to-day stuff, I'd much rather get online as soon as possible

this statement makes me recoil. If I need anything, it is to be online less, and driving enforces that, if only for a little while.

I used to have that view, but now I don't own a car, and I take device-free walks instead, which I think I actually prefer. I like looking at architecture, trees changing color, birds, whatever, while taking a 30-min walk somewhere. It feels less hectic than when I'd drive.

Oh, I'm not saying I need driving to disconnect. Just reacting in general to the notion of getting back online asap.

Ah, my point wasn't that I want to be online a lot. My point was that I want to get online and get my work done. That way I can log off sooner and go do other stuff I enjoy doing.
