Productive things to do on a commute

[Participant]

Just been thinking...I spend 1.5hrs commuting every day, so not outrageous, but even so over a 226 day working year that equates to 340 hours of listening to Alan Brazil hungover or Adrian Durham arguing with himself.

Instead I could be learning a language by listening to a nice French lady, or listen to educational podcasts, etc.

So what could you be doing on your commute instead? People working on trains need not apply; I'm talking about people that are wasting time that could otherwise be productive and what are you going to do about it?

I'd love to listen to some good audiobooks but my commute is only 10 mins so it's not really worth it!

I study or shoulder charge people.

Just develop anxiety then the time will fly past sweating and trying to keep a lid on it.

You can walk through the railway stations watching videos on your phone getting in the way of other commuters

Cleaning my AK-47.

Kill two birds with one stone and take a rucksack full of knives to be sharpened at the same time.

Listen to audiobooks and/or podcasts. When I travel for work this is what keeps me sane.

Pick two completely random albums each day and listen to them.

I went through 4 weeks of learning Spanish using Duolingo. It was great, did very well. Should keep it up really..

Other than that i just listen to podcasts or music depending on mood.

I completed solitaire in 64 seconds one time on my phone, i am now 100% retired from solitaire.

I'd just get wildly drunk and lament my life wasted sitting on a train.

I'm going to try audiobooks next week. Music's good but I've been through my collection a few times now.

That sounds very much like my commute!

Listen to a podcast or ten. I'd link to one but it's a bit rude so you'll have to google Corinne Fisher & Krystyna Hutchinson, Guys we ******

Just checked Duolingo out, seems pretty good and am making a start!

Thanks for the mention
