As I have probably already complained about, I have a long commute every day. I take a combination of trains to get to and from work, which total an hour and a half each way. That’s three hours a day, twelve hours a week, 624 hours a year. That’s almost a month each year, just spent traveling.
While the commute is happening, I don’t really mind it. I can read a book or listen to a podcast, it’s not like I’m miserable on my commute each day. But the hours do add up, and by the end of the week I am worn down and wonder what I’m doing with my life.
I’d like to figure out better uses of this time. What else could I be doing to make my life better while I have all of this time. I try to listen to inspirational podcasts (not the news) and to take advantage of “me time.” But I’m starting to think that there’s something I’m missing.
What do you do on your commute? Any tips for making the time more enjoyable?
