13 Tips to Make the Most of Your Commute

Stop Thinking of Your Commute as a Gridlocked Prison & Make It Work for You

Recommended Reading

We know long commutes can be tough. So we asked a few Salary.com employees with lengthy commutes what gets them through it. Here are some of their recommendations:

  • The Salary Talk Podcast Series: Oh c'mon, you know we had to throw this one in there. But seriously, it's filled with top-notch authors giving you free advice. Each one is 25-30 minutes long, perfect to pass the time & improve yourself.
  • Star Wars -- The Complete Trilogy: Yup, we're geeks. But we grew up on Star Wars & this is a full cast of characters keeping you involved and bringing the story to life even without a TV.
  • Game of Thrones: OK fine -- we're HUGE geeks. But not only is this series by George R.R. Martin fantastic (and currently an HBO series), the books are also very long. Which means even the super commuters will be happily occupied for weeks on end.
  • Learn in Your Car French -- The Complete Language Course: Because sometimes swearing at fellow commuters in English just isn't enough.
  • The Hunger Games: Listen to it during your commute and then go see the new hit movie in theaters!
