NJTransit Got You Down? Here’s How You Can Make Your Commute More Enjoyable

Are you tired of your everyday commute to work? Trying to find ways to keep busy and engaged?

Your commute to and from work might involve taking a New Jersey Transit train to Penn Station, or maybe a Septa train to Center City, Philadelphia. Whether you are taking the train or just have a long drive to work, a lot of time is dedicated to work travel. According to a study by The Washington Post, Americans average commute time to work is 26 minutes.

Altogether, Americans spend 3.4 million years annually commuting to their workplace. Yikes.

Your commute doesn't have to be terrible. It can give you time to do things you don't normally have time to do. Here are some suggestions:

| Podcasts |

I like to think of podcasts as Netflix for my ears. There are many varieties of podcasts to engage, from murder mysteries and conspiracy theories to world politics, or sports...

Some recommendations include:

A Very Fatal Murder - A podcast created by The Onion, this parody of a True Crime Investigation follows the fake murder of a Nebraska High school socialite.

Timesuck - A weekly podcast hosted by Dan Cummins explores unique topics each week, from conspiracy theories to history.

Listen Money Matters - An entertaining and stimulating personal finance self-guide.

Side Hustle School - A look at how you can make some extra money on the side.

Reading is relaxing and a great pastime. Though if you're like me and get dizzy while reading in the car or train, audio books are also a good option.

Here are some anticipated books for 2019 according to Oprah, who I trust my life with.
