I find it massively depends on the commute. Previously, I often had to travel to visit my SO which was an hour away by train. As I almost always had a seat I could watch Coursera videos on my phone.
However, I have a 20-30 minute bus ride to work everyday in which there are never free seats and you are often lucky if you even have room to reach into your pocket let alone watch videos on your phone.
It's hard to see any benefit to the latter commute as being rammed in like cattle doesn't aid self-reflection either.
- wink 8y agoAgreed, even when I only have 25 mins of combined bus and subway commute, it's kinda wasted time for anything that's not "reading RSS feeds on my phone" or "read a small (by dimensions) paperback" as it's packed. Then again I still prefer this over 45mins of "sitting down", because I can somehow do something in that time even if worse case it's just listening to music and let my mind wander, whereas I see most of it wasted anyway
- sundvor 8y agoYeah I've done public transport, car and cycle. I far prefer the latter, which doesn't make me fat and stressed the way driving a car or squeezing into an overfilled train does. (Well except for those moments when someone is trying to kill us, but you get used to those I guess...)
