Handling Long 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. 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.

A common problem that is faced by people undergoing long commutes every day is the deprivation of sleep or the irregular sleeping hours. 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.

Having to undergo long commutes from work to your home is inevitable especially if you cannot afford a fast car that can take you anywhere you want to go in just a matter of minutes. The best thing that you can do in such a situation is to rest your body and body while also trying to keep everything active. So what can you do to make your time useful during long commutes?

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. After you read a few pages of the book, you will be able to tell that time flies by so quickly.

Another good way for you to buy time whenever taking long commutes is to do the common thing that kids do - play games over their phone or gadget. While many may not be very fund of games over devices, it can be very much helpful in keeping your thoughts distracted and thus keeping you less stressed. To keep your gaming more fun and enjoyable, download games or apps related to sports or hobbies that you love to do such as basketball, drawing, serving as a waiter and others.

Do you want to earn a bit of cash while you travel from home to work and vice versa? If your English is good then you can opt for article or blog writing. The mind is usually more creative when the body is idle or when you are just sitting. 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. Writing is not only a great way to do something worth while but it also opens doors to profits.

Although many would not venture for this last tip, it is recommended that one should practice his or her social skills. Talking with fellow-passengers has been the usual thing that commuters do. 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. Of course, you will need to ensure that the topic is meaningful as well as interesting to draw the attention of your listener. 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.
