5 Productive things geeks (or anyone) can do while commuting
- BrandonM 16y ago> Think and learn I think the utility of doing this is often understated. Many of us have been led to believe that if we are "just sitting there" without reading or talking or whatever else, then we are wasting time. I felt this way for a long time, but at the same time I was too lazy to make the trip to the library or carry my heavy laptop onto the bus. After some time spending my bus rides simply relaxing and thinking, I found myself considering ideas that I really hadn't before. I would suggest to anyone who's interested to try it for a couple weeks and see if it does some good. I suggest taking a notebook to occasionally jot down the ideas you have, but remember that the point is not to write but to let your mind wander and contemplate various topics.
