Two examples that Keller and I found might provide particular instances
for disucussion. The first is from "Working Mother" magazine:
Even after the kids are fed, dressed and dropped off, a mother's job is
just beginning. Resourceful working moms find ways to maximize
down-time: They take care of family and work-related tasks during their
commute and at the office.
"While commuting, I check voice mail from my car phone (I put it on
speaker phone). Since I am in a time zone three to six hours later than
the rest of my company, I frequently have over a dozen messages waiting
by eight a.m.," says Pam Tsuzaki, a sales rep and mother of two from
Honolulu.
When someone else is doing the driving, you can accomplish even more:
"I have a 30-minute train ride, then take a bus for 20 minutes. I can
accomplish a lot of personal business during that time," says Lynn
Kuessner, the mother of three from Illinois. "I open mail, answer
letters, pay bills, make grocery and to-do lists, cut coupons, and read
the newspaper and school notices."...
Robin Seitz, a community college counselor from Ketchum, Idaho, drives
70 miles to work -- dressed in her running clothes. Along the way, she
parks her car and goes for a 45-minute run, so she completes much of her
morning prep at the office. "I arrive at work at about ten minutes to
eight, shed my running clothes, wash, dress for work in the clothes I've
brought from home and make coffee," says Seitz. "From eight to nine
a.m. I review client files, check my schedule for the day, do paperwork,
eat a second breakfast, and call home to check on my family. At nine,
my workday officially begins with a class or client."

The other example I will post in a separate msg.
