I happen to ride the bus everyday to work and there are some folks that are doing something to keep busy but there are others that are doing absolutely nothing! First of all, how on earth can you sit and do absolutely nothing for 30 minutes!?
Here are some productive things to do while riding the bus:
- Write a blog post – This one for example was written on my iPhone while riding to work
- Write a book
- Read a book
- Listen to something: music, podcast, audiobook, or a language tape
- Develop an app or program – Last year I wrote about how Mike Hugo wrote an web app while riding the bus. So can you!
- Catch up on email, Facebook, twitter, RSS, and etc.
- Study for something
What do you do to keep busy while riding the bus?
On a side note – someone had posted this same topic on my work’s internal social site while I was writing this. Too funny.
