Dealing With Lengthy Commutes

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. Sad to say, as the distance increases the more time you will have to sit in the bus to get to home or work. 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. Having to spend time with your family requires enough hours at work, having to use the remaining time for sleep is no longer easy if you still have to deal with a long commuting hours.

Dealing with far commuting distances is something that we cannot escape from unless you are willing to change jobs, buy your own fast car or plane. 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 how exactly would you keep yourself busy during 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. By reading books, magazines or journals, you will be able to keep you distracted and can also gain new knowledge. At the end of your reading, you'd be surprised you're already at the bus stop.

You can also be childish as you take that bus ride from your home to your office by playing games on your phone. 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? If your English is good then you can opt for article or blog writing. 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. Topics you can write about may cover a lot of things like experience in doing long commutes, how to make money, what presents to buy for your wife in your anniversary, etc. Not only will this be a great way to take your thoughts off the time but also helps you make money.

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. Talking with fellow-passengers has been the usual thing that commuters do. Many would think to do otherwise since they are not confident enough in their skills and do not have the confidence. However this is actually an easy thing to do. 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.
