I have one of the biggest productivity loss by moving back pakistan from Singapore.

In Singapore, during my walking from one point to other and Traveling, I used to do a lot of stuff, Cant do the same in pakistan.

Issues relate to: Convenience, Safety, Accessability (Phy/Digi)
Things that should be at the heart of any community development or City planning : Convenience, Safety and Accessability.

Every part of Singapore has the three elements.

In pakistan, we waste a lot of time in traveling.
Its about activities during those times.

From as little things as watching Netflix or thinking about some matter or writing threads when on the move or walk.

Now, I cant do either of these. The time now I have to spent on being careful when walking, there could be anything.
Of the three items, Convenience is mainly on conectivity and mobility. Public transport is in such a manner it wastes a lot of time. Provides discomprt adversly affecting behaviours.
In many other forms, conveninece is also an issue.
Safety is the biggest issue due to street designs, traffic/mobility behaviours and terrorism threats.

All three coupled, takes away many of our liberties and focus.

They ultimatly contributes to waisting much of our time of the day. Which otherwise we may have used.
Given our reliance on digital forums and connectivity, this also adds up to much of our daily routine. Lack of connectivity is keeping me away from things which otherwise I was more connected too..including the twitter.

I was more aware when I was away than I am when I am in Pak
Not necessry that others may have same issues, but I beleieve the differences may be placed in above categories. They may b in various forms.

It very much depend on indoviduals own lifestyle and own conduct.

However, the locality still leads/dictates to much of our lifestyle.
I missed one most important thing that fits into all three (Convenience, safety, Accessability).

Exercise/Running.

The design of our places & community is as such u cant do it except in the grounds and gym.

SG offers u oppertunity of running any time of the day anywhere.
