Traveling to work is a nightmare in most cities of the world – thanks to traffic congestion and clogged roads. A survey done in the US revealed that people on average take about 26.1 minutes to reach office while in a developing economy like India, people spend at least 7% of their day in commuting to and fro from their workplace. Make this time your “me” time by listening to podcasts that you are interested in while driving to work.
There is no shortage of binge-worthy podcasts that will keep your attention focused on better things in life than irritating traffic jams and people flouting traffic rules at the drop of their hat. Keep your mind relaxed and engaged in something good.
One clear advantage of driving to work is the desired me-space that you get every day. A time that you can spend meaningfully either by calling up friends and family to speak to them through hands-free phone or listen to your preferred podcast station.
It could be something serious that seems to be lurking in your backyard like the show called ‘It could happen here podcast’ or listen to Zach Lowe on his NBA-centric show called the Lowe post podcast.
