what I meant by 'extreme' is that the total amount of travel time is more than the average commuting time, plus having multiple trips does not leave you in peace for enough time to accomplish any task. That is why I have found that working around midnights in my home office was far better than trying to work in the office. But peaceful and productive it may be, it is definitely exhausting.

Anyway, this thread isnt about me and my work, it is about solving such problem for anyone facing them.

We are working on getting CD copies of some references, and that will provide me a 'portable library', but there are tons of printed and even hand written notebooks regarding many projects and they have to be carried around with me. That is not a proplem for my workaholic colleague because he is 'always' in the same office, but for me ... it is another story.
