My commute to work is about 1 hour each way, which means I spend approximately 10 hours each week simply driving to/from work. With that much time being spent in the car I've really needed to rethink how I use that time. I've made it one of my goals for July to start using my commute more productively, so I did a little research. Here are some things you can do to make your commute more productive...

Being a full-time employee, a part-time student, and a part-time blogger, I have to find ways to keep track of everything I need to do… and everything I’ve done. That’s why I keep a done list. What’s a done list? I’m glad you asked.

Staying motivated at work is definitely a struggle for me. As I'm writing this, I'm sitting at my 9 to 5, feeling completely and utterly unmotivated. Part of this journey, for me, is learning how to swing back from a lack of motivation. I often find myself wanting to be anywhere but work, thinking about other things, or spending precious time scrolling through Pinterest.

If you're required to work 9 to 5 (or any set amount of hours), it's likely that you fill your time with busy work. Since you know you have to be at work, regardless of how much work you get done, you create meaningless tasks and spend hours going through emails. You work for work's sake.
