Earlier this year, when I was in between apartments, I not only moved into my parents' townhouse for a brief period of time but became a long-drive commuter. If that's not a thing, it should be known henceforth as a form of corporal punishment. My 15 minute bus ride transformed into an hour and a half journey to and from work.
With time on my hands and loads of traffic in the way, I quickly adapted to my new life chained to my car. Living in New York, I traveled up to two hours one way on public transportation, but I was able to read. That type of activity is discouraged when you're operating heavy machinery for some reason.
So, I looked for new ways to make my time useful and entertaining. Here are a few things I delved into.
Learn a Language
This was actually super easy and fun to do while I was driving. Specifically, I listened to Coffee Break Spanish (they have a bunch of other languages available). I improved my Spanish pretty quickly and even created Spanish music playlists to further pursue phrases and pronunciations. All for free!
Get Into A New Podcast
As I mentioned in my Podcasts I'm Digging Right Now post back in April, I started listening to a lot of new podcasts. A long drive allows you to complete an entire episode so you don't have to wait to find out the ending. And, if you happen to be browsing for a great podcast, I heard Reseller Water Cooler is pretty dope.
Start an Audio Book
I still love reading, and I was missing out on the way that reading allows you to create a movie in your head. I snagged two free books through Audible and listened along as the miles wore on, and on, and on...
Set Goals for the Day
Each morning, I would turn the radio off and tune in with myself to set realistic goals and expectations for each day. I reviewed items I needed to accomplish and envisioned myself completing them. Picturing myself completing larger projects really gave me an extra push and allowed me to be excited for my day.
Call Friends & Reconnect
On the way home from work, I used the opportunity to chat with friends I hadn't spoken with in a while and used it as time to get back in touch without bills or chores to distract me. I could stay totally focused on my friend and strengthen our friendships.

These are just a few ways I kept it together on my commute - hope they help make yours a much more smoother ride!
My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle.
