Sometimes I think that they really should have made 28-hour days, at least.
It turns out that running has the priority on almost everything else. We are runners after all. Usually this means sacrificing time for girlfriend, friends and yourself.
An effective way I have been experimenting so far is to run to work, which allows me to easily save those two missing hours of the day.
Preamble: I need 30 min train and 40 min bike (or 25 min bus) to get to the office and as much to get back home.
For the commute, a preparation is needed though.
First I had to set a laptop at the office. This laptop is a replica of the one at home, namely it synchronises all apps and data that I change from home to the office. Running with a laptop is absolutely discouraged, even in the case of those computers provided with SSD disks.
Leaving a laptop at the office and use internet services is the solution.
An internet service that allows sharing data with others and more importantly with your own devices is copy.com. In addition, Gmail, Twitter and Strava are device-agnostic services and they provide the functionality I need independently from the laptop at my disposal.
An important device, however is the running backpack. There are plenty out there. These ones are probably the best. I personally use a Salomon trail 10L without hydration pack. It easily gives room to keys, mobile phone, a couple of rechargers and some money. More than enough for a daily running-to-work session.
What is really important is the clothing strategy. I carry with me a spare t-shirt. But the rest has been placed beforehand in the office. Cool working places usually have showers. Make sure your working place is cool enough ;)
Last but not least, your legs. Make sure they are capable of doing it, every day.
Run happy. Work smart.
