1 Plan your day

One of the best ways to use your commute time is to plan your day ahead. Whether you drive, bike, walk, or take public transportation, you can use this time to review your tasks, prioritize your goals, and set your intentions for the day. This can help you boost your focus, motivation, and efficiency, as well as reduce anxiety and procrastination. You can use a planner, a notebook, a voice recorder, or an app to organize your thoughts and create a realistic and flexible schedule.

Back in the time when I was in the US, I had to commute 2 hours per day by train. The best choice is probably reading books. It helps you kill time, and also gain much knowledge at the same time.

In order to make the most of commute time, I have sometimes found it useful to start working from home in the morning and then commute at off-peak times (when possible) so I could get to sit on the train and get some actual work done, whether it be writing, reading or planning my day. Off-peak quieter environments were beneficial in that they helped me be more productive. I would try and favour journeys that had fewer transfers (even if they would take a few extra minutes) as this would limit the number of disruptions getting on and off trains or buses. Because internet connection isn’t always great on public transportation, I would also make sure, before the journey starts, that I had a piece of work that could get done entirely offline.

What a way to get your time back. If you do not need to drive to work, and can rather use public transport or a commuter service like Zeelo, use the time to plan your day ahead.

2 Learn something new

Another way to make the most of your commute time is to learn something new. You can choose a topic that interests you, that relates to your career, or that challenges you. You can use various resources, such as podcasts, audiobooks, online courses, or language apps, to listen, watch, or interact with the content. This can help you expand your knowledge, improve your skills, or discover new passions. You can also use this time to review what you have learned or practice what you have acquired.

For language learning, look for all-audio content like The Michel Thomas Method. The method focuses on listening and speaking right from the start, enabling you to build fluency and confidence through constructing whole sentences. You'll be delighted by your quick progress and motivated to continue. The online, all-audio format makes it easy to fit language learning into your daily life. With the app, you can download courses to learn offline or stream them directly --- perfect for commuting by car.

Having the ability to educate yourself on your commute, instead of having to drive yourself, is massively beneficial. I find reading the best way to do so on my commute.

3 Relax and meditate

A third way to make the most of your commute time is to relax and meditate. You can use this time to calm your mind, release tension, and recharge your energy. You can use techniques, such as breathing exercises, mindfulness, or visualization, to achieve a state of relaxation and awareness. You can also use music, sounds, or aromas, to create a soothing atmosphere. This can help you improve your mood, health, and well-being, as well as cope with stress and challenges.

Absolutely - this one! I use my commute to observe the things around me and be grateful...especially for: - the trains, trams and buses that get millions to work, seemingly effortlessly every day - the staff that support this, most probably paid less than the majority of commuters - the cleanliness of the trains, after so many people often leave rubbish - the one or two people that make eye contact (the rest are on their phones!)

4 Connect with others

A fourth way to make the most of your commute time is to connect with others. You can use this time to communicate with your family, friends, or colleagues, and strengthen your relationships. You can use phone calls, messages, or social media, to share your thoughts, feelings, or experiences, and offer or receive support, advice, or feedback. You can also use this time to network with new people, such as fellow commuters, and expand your circle of contacts. This can help you improve your social skills, confidence, and happiness, as well as create new opportunities.

Yes - I often use this time to reply to my messages, once I've planned my day. I keep them as brief as possible - just as I would like to receive messages, as I want as much time as possible, just to enjoy being carried to work, to tackle the joys ahead!

A great use of your time during your commute is to connect with others via various social media applications, or even catching up on emails.

5 Have fun and be creative

A fifth way to make the most of your commute time is to have fun and be creative. You can use this time to enjoy your hobbies, express yourself, or explore your imagination. You can use tools, such as games, puzzles, books, or magazines, to entertain yourself and challenge your brain. You can also use materials, such as pens, paper, or cameras, to create something original and meaningful. This can help you improve your mental health, self-esteem, and satisfaction, as well as unleash your potential.

My commute time is relatively short; what I do is listen to a few current affairs podcasts to stay informed of what's going on around the world.

6 Review and reflect

A sixth way to make the most of your commute time is to review and reflect. You can use this time to evaluate your performance, progress, and results, and identify your strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. You can use methods, such as journaling, rating, or feedback, to record your achievements, challenges, and learnings. You can also use questions, such as what, why, how, and what if, to analyze your actions, decisions, and outcomes. This can help you improve your self-awareness, learning, and growth, as well as adjust your plans and strategies.
