How You Can Approach Lengthy Commutes

By Bill Duggen


If your home or family is a great distance apart from your work then you would have to deal with the stress of having to commute. The longer commuting hours you would have to endure only means that your destination is farther away. This is a daily routine that one must endure if he or she is really looking to make money or make a living.

Among those that you lose when you undergo long commutes would be the good night sleep - sleep without worries and sleep with your arms and legs stretched out over the bed. While at work, you will need to spend at least 8 hours a day and have the rest of your hours to your family and of course for the long commute which no longer leave you with enough time for sleep.

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?

One thing that people commonly do in order to buy time when riding a bus home or to work is to read a journal or a book. Not only does this hobby enhances your knowledge on this but also keeps your mind distracted. When you read a book, you'll be surprised you're already at your destination as you finish a few pages.

You can also be childish as you take that bus ride from your home to your office by playing games on your phone. 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.

Do you want to earn a bit of cash while you travel from home to work and vice versa? Try writing an article - you can do this either through a pen and paper or through a laptop. Since your body is not doing any much activities during traveling, the mind can become very keen. In this case, writing an article would be the perfect thing. There are actually no limits to what you can write about and make money from it. 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 challenging part would only be to have a small confidence to ignite that conversation. You need to think of an interesting subject as well as a topic that both of you passengers can relate from. Likewise, be sure to check first that the person you are looking to talk to is approachable.
