I tend to get motion sickness and eye strain when I try reading or working in a moving car. Maybe TV would be a bit easier on the eyes, but I think it's not a healthy habit in general.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoYou could leave for work later and have your first daily meeting be part of your commute.
- ianmcgowan 9y agoIn my experience a lot of BigCorps in my area (SFBay) already do that. The inevitable morning meetings filled with status updates, daily standups and plans for the day. Also with people beeping in and out, "sorry I was on mute" and all the associated nonsense that goes with it. No work gets done until after 10am...
- gowld 9y agoPeople are having trouble connecting to an a priori useless meeting. Paging Dilbert.
- Broken_Hippo 9y agoI can't read for long in a moving car. I can, however, draw or paint, knit, watch tv, or any number of things like this. It helps to take breaks often to look around or focus on things further from your eyes so you aren't noticing every bump.
- lawlessone 9y agoA lot of this i think is down to how people drive. I feel nausea when one particular friends drives. His driving is aggressive. But i can get the train and have 0 motion sickness.
- artursapek 9y agoThat's because the train doesn't stop and start, and make sharp turns nearly as often as a car.
- Broken_Hippo 9y agoI've had that experience as well, but this is different. I don't generally get motion sickness in vehicles - but reading will make me get an upset stomach, regardless of who is driving. I just learned how to minimize some of it and realized the stuff I can do on long trips.
