My mind still confused what this is suppose to mean. Like commuting to work? Like if the hardest part is getting to the office, then everything else is considered less difficult.

Or is commuting an actual difficult part? At least for me, part of accepting a new job is planning the commute, so would have been cleared of before accepting.
