The art of putting your commute time to good use

Have you noticed just how much longer it seems to take us to travel from our homes to our workplaces each day, or to client meetings and back? The roads are getting busier, trains and buses more jam packed with people, and city centre apartment and house rentals are increasing meaning we are more likely to live further away than ever from the places we work. So if longer commute times are now an everyday reality, then why not look for the positive and use that time travelling in a moreconstructive way. Here are some ideas to help you to make the most of this travel time in your daily schedule. Firstly, put your earbuds in and listen to an interesting podcast show on a topic that will help your business. Secondly, if relaxation is more your commuting cup of tea, then why not listen to an audiobook from your favourite author. Thirdly, make action lists and to-do notes for yourself using your smartphone on hands-free mode of course, and dictating your audio notes as your travel ready for action when you land at your destination. Fourthly, if you travel a lot for business, then why not learn a new language through your earbuds - download a great audio language course and put your travel time to good use. There’s no excuse now to let your daily commute get you down. Your time is precious so don’t waste a moment of it, plus your journey to work will become a whole lot more enjoyable.
