Residents of cities with a population of over one million are already accustomed to the fact that they have to be in traffic jams almost every day. If a person sitting in a car in the passenger seat can do almost anything, then the driver still monitors the situation on the road. How can you pass the time while driving a car standing in a traffic jam?
These days, when almost every family has at least one car, city roads are terribly congested during rush hour. Therefore, for many car enthusiasts, wasting time in traffic is an inevitable evil. Having made simple calculations, you can understand that 20 minutes of standing in a traffic jam every working day is 100 minutes a week, and a year it is almost four days. How can you use your time in traffic to your advantage?
What can you do in a stationary traffic jam?
If the traffic jam in which you are standing is "deaf", as motorists say, then you can waste the time that you are forced to spend in a car with the engine off, putting things in order in the car's interior and glove compartment. You can watch a good movie on your cell phone or car TV, read an interesting book, or play a game. Ideal if you have a tablet or laptop with you. You can get involved in solving work questions, preparing for an exam, or just surfing the Internet.
Many car enthusiasts do handicrafts in their free time, for example, knitting or embroidery. If you find unfinished embroidery or a barely started knitted glove in your purse, you can devote time in traffic to your hobby - this will help relax your mind in a stressful situation, which, in fact, is the forced inability to go where you need to. If the cosmetic bag contains a nail polish remover, nail scissors and a nail file, you can start putting your nails in order; Take along tweezers and a mirror to help you shape your eyebrows.
How to kill time in a traffic jam that is slowly moving
If the cars do not stand with their engines turned off, but nevertheless move forward, then the driver's attention is riveted to the road, and his eyes and hands are busy controlling the situation. Is it possible to do something useful and pleasant for yourself in such a situation?
First of all, you can call your family or friends and talk to them. It will be especially appropriate to contact those people for a full-fledged conversation with whom a person who is tired of everyday vanity always has no time. Remember the last time you talked heart to heart with your parents, and did not exchange a few routine phrases with them? Of course, it is best to use a Hands-Free device for conversation.
Besides, you can listen to radio, audiobook or favorite music. This helps to distract and cheer up, and if you strain and relax the muscles of the abs, buttocks and thighs in time with the music, it can also serve as exercise. Thus, the daily pastime in traffic can not only delay your arrival at the office or home by several tens of minutes, but also have a positive effect on your horizons, and, possibly, make your figure more attractive.
