By Bill Duggen


Great distances from home to work often lead to one stressful obligation - a long commute. 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.

One common thing that is brought about by long commutes for many people is the insufficient amount of sleep or bed rest. 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.

Having to undergo long commutes from work to your home is inevitable especially if you cannot afford a fast car that can take you anywhere you want to go in just a matter of minutes. On the long commute, you will be left with the choice of saving your strength for next activity you are looking to have like spend time with family, work, fun and others. So how exactly would you keep yourself busy during a long commute?

Book reading is among the top things that people usually do when trying to buy time during long commutes. Not only does this hobby enhances your knowledge on this but also keeps your mind distracted. After you read a few pages of the book, you will be able to tell that time flies by so quickly.

Another good way for you to buy time whenever taking long commutes is to do the common thing that kids do - play games over their phone or gadget. Playing games or browsing pictures and videos on your gadget is not something that many people would do when idle but this surely is a fun thing and something worth doing during the long ride. 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. When you are sitting and not doing much, your mind tend to become more active. Writing articles would then be beneficial for your as an outlet of your thoughts. There are actually no limits to what you can write about and make money from it. This is a good way to buy time whenever not doing anything like commuting and can even make you a great amount of money when published over the internet.

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. Socializing with your fellow passengers or the person beside you is yet the most basic way to deal with boredom in long commutes. I know this would require skill as well as enough confidence however it is actually easier than it would sound. The challenging part would only be to have a small confidence to ignite that conversation. You need to think of an interesting subject as well as a topic that both of you passengers can relate from. Likewise, be sure to check first that the person you are looking to talk to is approachable.
