So, that's two commutes each day, ten in a week, and around forty in a month, which adds up to about 440 times a year. Wow, if you think about it, commuting for 45 minutes each way adds up to a whopping ninety minutes a day, which totals around 1,650 hours a year! That's a lot of time spent on the road!
Hey, have you thought about those goals you've been wanting to reach? How about using this time to focus on them! The way you decide to spend your time is only limited by your imagination.
It feels like we spend so much of our commuting time having a negative experience, and it really drains us for everything else we want to do in our day. Using our commuting time to focus on personal growth and achievements can really pay off. You'll notice the positive effects at work, home, and during your leisure activities!
Taking some time to plan out your day at work can really boost your productivity, letting you spend less time at the office and more time enjoying home and play. Once you start achieving more, those goals you've been putting off won't feel like a weight anymore. You'll feel lighter, both in your mind and body.
If you’ve got stuff to tackle today, just give the office a call on speaker phone and chat about what can help make your day there run smoother. If you find yourself short on time to write, just grab a tape recorder and tell your stories while you're in your car. If you enjoy working out, isometrics—where you hold muscle contractions for about 10 seconds and repeat—are known to be effective for building muscle. Just a heads up, though: if you have high blood pressure or any heart issues, it’s best to skip this one. There are definitely books on tape and even courses covering all sorts of topics. Why not spend some time making your life even better?
The commute is a perfect opportunity to plan out your day or reflect on how things went. Whatever you decide to do, finding value in your commute can really shift your perspective. It helps you relax and keeps your mind engaged with something more interesting than just watching the clock or dealing with traffic jams. Now, rather than seeing the commute as a big hurdle, it can actually turn into a chance to improve your life.
How about coming up with ten fun activities to do while you're commuting? You might want to get a few of them ready in advance! If you're not in the mood for one thing, you’ve got another option lined up, even if it’s just chilling out with your favorite tunes. Sometimes, you just might not feel like reading or jamming to music. That's when you could dive into a puzzle or start crafting a letter or a song in your mind. Your commute is full of possibilities, just like you!
