Team Insight: The New Commute is Curated

The old commute was about geography: home to office, office to home.

The new commute is about vibe.

Each day, more people are choosing their workspace not by zip code, but by what they need to get done - and, more importantly, how they want to feel while doing it.

Need focus? Find a quiet café or a tucked-away gallery corner.
Need comfort? Head to your favourite neighbourhood spot with good coffee and soft lighting.
Need energy? Choose a lively bar or hotel lobby where the buzz keeps you moving.
Need connection? Pick a space that naturally sparks conversation, collaboration, or community.

This is the rhythm of modern work: building your week around intention and atmosphere, not just availability. Instead of one-size-fits-all offices or endless days at home, people are curating their environments to match the flow of their lives.

The power of this shift is subtle but profound. By asking “What do I need today?” before opening your laptop, you set a tone for the work ahead: psychologically, emotionally and socially. It’s structure without rigidity. Freedom without chaos.

The new commute isn’t about miles. It’s about moments - and making them work for you.
