Drive time doesn’t need to be wasted time!
If you’ve got a long day on the road, consider using that day productively:
Listen to Podcasts
A captivating story can make hours seem like minutes when you have a long drive time. A great instructional podcast can teach you to be an “expert” on endless topics in a matter of hours! Don’t know where to start? Consider one from Podcast Consumer Tracker’s top five list:
- The Joe Rogan Experience
- The Daily
- Crime Junkie
- This American Life
- Stuff You Should Know
Learn a New Language
Prepare yourself for a well-deserved exotic vacation or simply stretch your mind and impress your friends! There are some outstanding free apps that make learning another language easier than it’s ever been before. Just a few:
- Duolingo
- Rosetta Stone
- Memrise
Each of these apps is available for iOS and Android. Although there are subscription options, each offers extensive free options for at least a dozen different languages.
Get in Touch with Friends and Family
“Not enough time” is the #1 reason people tend to fall out of touch with friends and family over the years and across the miles. No more excuses! Invest in a good hands-free headset, and start working through your contact list. You’ve got hours to kill, and nothing passes them more quickly than great conversation!
