Distance to the Sun: 150.000.000 Km / 93.200.000 Miles (which is about 8 light-minutes)
Distance to the nearest Star: 4 light-years
Distance to the center of the galaxy: 30.000 light-years (give or take a couple of thousand light-years)

Distance to your work: ?
Time to get to work: ?

If those galactic distances seem not so big to you, you´re used to traffic jams, every morning and every evening. What can you do to avoid those nasty traffic jams. There are options, though it depends on your job what is possible.

If timing is flexible, you could decide to start working only at 10:30 am in stead of 8:30 am. That saves you at least an hour in traffic. More time at home in the morning!!! You have to work later too of course, but advantage,. you won’t be home that much later anyway, since you avoid the evening traffic jam.

What else is possible?
