BOFYA HAPO CHINI KUJIUNGA NA GRP LETU LA WAHSTAP
Listen to audio books
If you've never tried it, you might
find yourself loving it. Popular novels are usually the most popular audio
books, and for good reason. On the more practical side of things, you can try
learning a language.
Catch up on phone calls
I strongly discourage the use of
cell phones while driving in general. But when you are in stop-and-go traffic,
never going above 10 mph, and not changing lanes, phone calls are permissible.
Get news from family or friends, or check your messages at the office so you
are prepared for what awaits you. Always use your headset.
Listen
to the radio
Tune into your favorite radio
station. This may be obvious to some, but others never think to turn it on, or
to stop the CD shuffle for once. Alternating between all-talk and all-music
stations can help prevent boredom. Also, having a favorite morning DJ is like
having an old friend in the passenger seat; well, almost.
Sing
It may
sound crazy, but you've probably already done it (it's funny what a little
extra coffee can do to us). Clear your throat and get those pipes going. I...
wanna rock and roll all night... You'd be surprised how good it'll make you
feel, even though those in the cars next to you will think you're chemically
imbalanced.
Do
some brainwork
In our cars, we often fall into
routines that defy departure. For example, if you always have the radio
blaring, you might never allow yourself time to think. If this is the case, change
your driving routine and create a better thinking environment for yourself. You
may even do some quality problem-solving. Run over upcoming projects in your
mind and write down your ideas when you reach your destination.
Play
a game
Playing games always works better
when you have passengers. If you're alone, however, I don't encourage breaking
out "free cell" on the laptop during the commute, but why not count
how many people in other cars are picking their noses. Come on, it's fun...
Stretch
Most people don't think about the
body below their belt when driving slowly. That is, until they get of the car
with a leg cramp and a sleeping foot. Occasionally, and with utmost caution,
put the car in park when you're at a dead stop, and lift your right thigh off
the seat. Move both legs wherever they will go without getting stuck. Also, do
arm stretches.
Acquiesce
If you
know you'll be stuck in traffic — and usually you should know, if you're going
to travel during rush hour or through construction — prepare mentally. Integral
to the stress of being stuck is coming to terms with the fact that you'll be
late. But if you accept this fact beforehand, or are prepared for it.
PREPARATIONS
Leave
early
This thought usually arrives about
30 minutes too late — when you're actually stuck in traffic. For once, take the
time to beat the rush. Lay your clothes out the night before, go to bed early,
get up early, and miss the heart of rush hour. It will make your morning easier
to deal with.
Have
an alternate route
The savvy driver will have clever
ways of circumventing the fray. It may even be worthwhile to take a
"long-cut" — a route that takes a few minutes longer — if it saves
you the mental strain of sitting in gridlock. Just don't drive over any soccer
fields or residential lawns.
keep
your cool
I won't pretend that there is any
way to make you actually like being stuck in traffic. Traffic jams are among
the most loathsome obstacles in our daily routines. But cutting down on stress at this point can be a relief.
If you confront the beast, and try
to be productive in its midst, you might find your mornings at work a bit more relaxed, and your winding-down time more
pleasurable. Who knows — you might even start to enjoy the ride.
