embrace your commute                                      (photo: aurelio.asiain)
i used to dread my 2-3 hours of daily car commuting, until i hopped on public transit and made it my solo time.  my commute became a precious commodity i always looked forward to before entering a hectic office.  now, when i’m not wfh, i walk or bike to the bus or BART and have about a 40 minute commute.  i love the focused downtime.  simplify your work day and enjoy a single-tasking commute:
read (e.g. #bookaweek #nyt #kindle)
discover new music and podcasts (#pandora #itunes #npr)
finish a work project
set new work, personal and fitness goals
text, call or write your family and loved ones & tell them you love them
meet your commute neighbor
use this time as your only window(s) during the day for  social  networking
meditate
daydream
