If you are faced with long commutes every day, it can be tedious and tedious, especially when you’re stuck in traffic. However, the time you spend traveling to and from work can prove invaluable, allowing you to get the most out of it instead of wasting it.
Here’s how:
Make Some Plans
No matter how organized you are, there is always something to plan for. From eating out with friends to your day at work, start jotting down your to-do list while you’re on the road. The more time you spend plan your day or the week you’re away, the more time you have for other things at work or home.
Call People
One of the best ways to pass the time when you’re traveling is to catch up on personal phone calls. Call people you’d like to keep in touch with for a while or set up your weekly meetup with friends and family during your trip.
Alternatively, you may want to get rid of some of your client calls, which will give you more time to get straight to work once you arrive. And the best way to make sure you don’t miss anything when chatting with clients is to record the conversation – there are a number of apps available that help you do this, including this one at Google Play.
Learn a New Language
Find time for learn a new language is something many of us wish we could do, but there simply just aren’t enough hours in the day. However, the precious minutes you spend commuting to work can give you the perfect excuse to start learning your chosen language. There are a variety of apps you can download to create interactive language tutorials, and ones that won’t make you feel as though you’re back in school.
Follow News
Instead of spending hours scrolling through your Facebook news feed, why not browse useful stories? This could be general, everyday news, your favorite online magazine, or the latest technology news. Watching these news channels will not only kill boredom, but will also help you learn new things.
Or, if you prefer hard copies, you can buy a newspaper or magazine before you travel, or simply read a book by your favorite author. Similarly, if you’re driving to work, you may want to invest in the latest lectures or audiobooks, which will help you study on the go.
Reach Forty Flashes
This is definitely a no-no if you’re driving to work, but if you don’t get enough sleep, the commute to work can give you valuable time to catch up. Always be careful to keep you and your belongings safe if you do this, so you don’t miss your stop, and you don’t disturb anyone with your snoring!
