Hints On How To Endure A Long Daily Commute

By Bill Duggen


If you have a job that is located in the city and a home that is far from the city then you will have no choice but to endure long commutes on a regular basis. The longer commuting hours you would have to endure only means that your destination is farther away. This fate should be accepted should you be in a position to need money or really need to make a living.

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.

This is something that one will have to endure unless he or she can find a job that is closer to home or own a vehicle that can break the speed limit. What you can do is save your strength for other activities after the long commute and keep your mind and body busy and active during the process. So how do you survive a long commute?

Among the common ways on how to deal with a long commute to work or towards home is to read a book. Reading a book will further enhance your knowledge and will draw your attention away from the time. After you read a few pages of the book, you will be able to tell that time flies by so quickly.

Playing games on your phone or gadget can also be a fun and interesting way to deal with long commutes. There maybe those who do not appreciate games played over devices however doing this can be beneficial for you if you're looking for something fun to do in a bus ride home after work. 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.

Looking to make money even while riding a bus home or to your work? One way to earn good money even in commute is to write an article or a personal blog. Since your body is not doing any much activities during traveling, the mind can become very keen. Writing articles would then be beneficial for your as an outlet of your thoughts. 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. All you need is a bit of confidence to initiate a conversation. You just have to think of a topic or subject that would allow the both of you to agree and discuss further. Of course, you first would need to find out if the person you are trying to talk with is actually in the mood for a talk.
