5 Things To Do Whilst Commuting
February 03, 2017
Recently I was inspired by a Bloglovin' post (check it out here). It gave advice on different ways to spend your time wisely when commuting, either to work, school, college or university. So, if you're not good with your time, or you just plain need a kick up the butt, then I'd definitely say read ahead.
I've not always been the biggest fan of reading, however, since starting university, I've recently been reading books whilst taking the train in the mornings. I find it's the perfect way to increase your vocabulary and just distract yourself from the noise around you. It can be a self-help, a fiction or just about anything, but whatever you decide to bring a long, make the most of that alone time.
Books I've recently read are:
- Girl Boss / Sophia Amoruso
- Capture Your Style / Aimee Song
- It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be / Paul Arden.
- Paris Street Style / Isabelle Thomas & Frédérique Veysset (Currently reading)

2. Check emails
Everyone knows that staying up to date with emails is probably one of the hardest tasks any human can come into contact with, so as long as your internet connection persists, checking your emails should be a necessity. There's no better feeling other than seeing no notifications and knowing that no one is waiting for a response.

To do lists are the perfect example of being organised. They give you guidance when you're either confused or overwhelmed with work, so what better time to put your day/week in order, than when you're relaxed and have nothing else to do?
4. Listen to music
Anybody who knows me, knows that music is an extension of my personality, and no advice list would be complete without mentioning it at least once. Music is perfect for getting you in the zone, taking your mind off things, or all around just making you happy. So listening to it whilst commuting is perfect for drowning out background noise. If you cannot find the perfect playlist to listen to, why not check out my most recent playlist post here or just check out my soundcloud here.

It might seem weird to say, but sometimes detaching yourself from technology is a great feeling. The majority of our world is surrouded around internet connection (ironic, because you're using it right now to reading this) however, not being 'connected' for at least 30 minutes, should provide you with enough solitude to get you ready for the day.
And there we have it, the 5 main things I do whilst commuting x
