How To Keep Yourself Busy in A Long Commute

By Bill Duggen


Great distances from home to work often lead to one stressful obligation - a long commute. As the distance increases, the hours of commuting from home to work become longer. For someone who needs money to pay the bills or to make both ends meet, he or she will have to bear with this routine.

One common thing that is brought about by long commutes for many people is the insufficient amount of sleep or bed rest. You will be deprived of sleep as you will be spending the majority of your time at work, the remaining few hours for your family and a few more hours for the commute.

Dealing with far commuting distances is something that we cannot escape from unless you are willing to change jobs, buy your own fast car or plane. On the long commute, you will be left with the choice of saving your strength for next activity you are looking to have like spend time with family, work, fun and others. So how exactly would you keep yourself busy during a long commute?

Book reading is among the top things that people usually do when trying to buy time during long commutes. Not only does this hobby enhances your knowledge on this but also keeps your mind distracted. After you read a few pages of the book, you will be able to tell that time flies by so quickly.

Playing games on your phone or gadget can also be a fun and interesting way to deal with long commutes. Playing games or browsing pictures and videos on your gadget is not something that many people would do when idle but this surely is a fun thing and something worth doing during the long ride. Playing the most played games today and compete with your friends is as fun as ever.

Looking to make money even while riding a bus home or to your work? If your English is good then you can opt for article or blog writing. Since your body is not doing any much activities during traveling, the mind can become very keen. In this scenario, article or blog writing would be the best thing that you can do. Topics you can write about may cover a lot of things like experience in doing long commutes, how to make money, what presents to buy for your wife in your anniversary, etc. This is a good way to buy time whenever not doing anything like commuting and can even make you a great amount of money when published over the internet.

And of course, you can also do the conventional thing to do when bored in a bus ride home or to work - talk with others. As you take that long commute, you can also talk to your fellow passengers. I know this would require skill as well as enough confidence however it is actually easier than it would sound. The only hard part in socializing is how to start the conversation. You need to think of an interesting subject as well as a topic that both of you passengers can relate from. And again before you talk to that person beside you, check out his or her mood if he or she is in the mood for a talk.
