early train rides
I was actually so happy to be in an empty train cart and got to work on time :)
This was Monday morning and lowkey I normally don’t mind Mondays but I unfortunately have a 2 hour commute.
I got some not so great news this week in regards to my commute as my wfh request was actually denied but I guess it’s only 2 days a week :/ lmk how y’all stay awake/long is your commute?
Commuting by train can be both a challenge and an opportunity. To make the most of early train rides, consider carrying a book or downloading podcasts that spark your interest. Many commuters like to use this time to catch up on their reading or listen to informative content. Setting a routine can also help—pack your bag the night before and ensure you leave home a little earlier to avoid rushing. Don't forget to enjoy the quiet moments; an early train often means fewer distractions, giving you the chance to reflect or plan your day ahead. Additionally, trying out relaxation techniques or listening to uplifting music can make your journey more pleasant. Join communities online to share commuting stories and find support, especially when you're facing longer travel times. Commuters often exchange tips on keeping energized, such as sipping on a hot beverage or having a light snack ready. Remember, even if your work-from-home request was denied, you can still find joy in your daily journey by paving the way with positivity and the right mindset.
