Whether commuting, shuttling your kids from one
after-school activity to the next, or taking a business trip, make a conscious
choice about how you want to use that travel time. Travel time should never be lost time. Listen to music to
escape. Talk to your kids to strengthen your connection with them. Listen to
business books on CD to enhance your work. Also, choose the best mode of
transportation for whatever you’re planning to do. A cross-country car trip is
a great way to build relationships; public transportation offers plenty of time
to sleep (physical health), read or watch movies (escape), and concentrate
(work).
