Got Commute?
Author: Arts MusingsHow many millions of Americans commute 1 hour or more per day to their jobs? You may be surprised to know that 140 million Americans commute more than 1/2 hour each way, 5 days per week to jobs many of them don’t even enjoy! That’s a whopping 225 hours per year (less vacation time, sick time, and holidays) of wasted time. You may even be commuting more than that!
Consider using this wasted time for your own personal growth. Listen to something inspiring, educational or entertaining. Learn what it takes to be successful in your industry or profession and accelerate your career. Many personal growth books now come in audio format that are available at your local library. You can download podcasts to your iPod, or if you’re adding books to your own library collection, check out Audible.com
You’ll soon find that you actually look forward to your daily commute, arrive at the office with a lower stress level than those listening to the depressing and repetitive news broadcasts, and start your work day with renewed energy. My greatest inspiration and ideas have come when I’ve been listening to an audio program while driving. Where do you get your inspiration and ideas from?
