I think the key point here that was left unmentioned is that the writer seems to be working from home. If I had to get ready to leave the home and commute every day, I think a lot of my morning time would be spent just getting ready and commuting. This is one of the chief reasons I prefer to work from home: the productivity gains one gets from having free time in the morning to work.

EDIT: I just noticed that the author does commute. Still, I'm not sure I'd be productive if I had to commute an hour each way every day.
