If you have a job that is located in the city and a home that is far from the city then you will have no choice but to endure long commutes on a regular basis.

This is a daily routine that one must endure if he or she is really looking to make money or make a living.

While at work, you will need to spend at least 8 hours a day and have the rest of your hours to your family and of course for the long commute which no longer leave you with enough time for sleep.

On the long commute, you will be left with the choice of saving your strength for next activity you are looking to have like spend time with family, work, fun and others. So how do you survive a long commute?
One thing that people commonly do in order to buy time when riding a bus home or to work is to read a journal or a book. Not only does this hobby enhances your knowledge on this but also keeps your mind distracted. After you read a few pages of the book, you will be able to tell that time flies by so quickly.
Playing games on your phone or gadget can also be a fun and interesting way to deal with long commutes. While many may not be very fund of games over devices, it can be very much helpful in keeping your thoughts distracted and thus keeping you less stressed.

Do you want to earn a bit of cash while you travel from home to work and vice versa? One way to earn good money even in commute is to write an article or a personal blog. Since your body is not doing any much activities during traveling, the mind can become very keen. In this scenario, article or blog writing would be the best thing that you can do. Topics you can write about may cover a lot of things like experience in doing long commutes, how to make money, what presents to buy for your wife in your anniversary, etc. Writing is not only a great way to do something worth while but it also opens doors to profits.
Lastly, you can also socialize while you are taking that long bus ride. Talking with fellow-passengers has been the usual thing that commuters do. Many would think to do otherwise since they are not confident enough in their skills and do not have the confidence. However this is actually an easy thing to do. All you need is a bit of confidence to initiate a conversation. You need to think of an interesting subject as well as a topic that both of you passengers can relate from. Of course, you first would need to find out if the person you are trying to talk with is actually in the mood for a talk.
