With the ability to work from home, as part of a distributed company, we often praise the fact that we don’t have to commute to an office. But sometimes the seemingly mundane daily tasks provide unexpected value.

The silence and solitude that a commute provides often sparks the most creative ideas and poignant questions.

Sometimes it’s important to realise that a deliberate detour down an open road can provide great clarity.

Of course it helps if you are surrounded by such beauty as Chapman’s Peak here in Cape Town.
