If you’re on a long train ride, or bus ride for that matter, it can sometimes feel as though it’ll last forever. Sitting in the same chair for five or six hours on end can feel daunting, but we’re here to say that it’s actually an amazing opportunity. Our busy lives make it hard for us to focus on most things for hours on end, so here are three things that require focus that you can do on a train.
Read a Book
One thing you can do is read a book. Reading a book is like the epitome of something that our generation has lost due to our waning attention spans. Thus, a long train ride can be a great way to get some precious time back and focus on an engaging book.
Listen To a Podcast
We wrote podcast here, but honestly this applies to just about anything you can listen to. Whether it’s a long podcast, or a four-hour-long audiobook, or even a musical album that you listen to in one sitting, a train ride is a perfect opportunity to get those things done.
Write Something Creative
Finally, there’s nothing better than taking advantage of a train ride to do something creative. Whether you want to write a few chapters towards that novel you were working on, or start that illustration you’ve been dreaming of, it’s an amazing way to pass the time.
