What do we do with all those hours on the road? Unlike other jobs, we can improve ourselves while we work. These are some things I like:
1) I like to sing. I have vocal training CD's. I spend at least one hour per day improving my singing voice while driving.
2) Audiobooks. So much great literature and educational material available - much of it free!. This really helps pass the time, is entertaining and adds something to me while I'm getting paid.
3) Make videos. I'm not a YouTuber but I have plenty to say and think I will start recording videos while I drive.
4) Learn a second language. I just sent away for Rosetta Stone to make my Espanol mas perfecto.
I know this is not a new idea but it is good to be reminded what a great opportunity this job gives us to multi-task our time toward some skill or hobby that will make us more interesting, more skilled at something or just better educated.
So, what do you do with your drive time?
