Interesting things to do while driving
Sep. 20th, 2007 11:32 pmCommuting is a huge time suck. I don't enjoy the act of driving, when it's taking me down the same road I've been a thousand times before.
I often listen to books on CD or podcasts. However, sometimes that experience feels too passive. I want to do something more expressive and active. Of course, it can't involve spatial reasoning because I need that section of my brain to focus on the driving activities.
I've thought about:
1. Learning to sing
2. Changing how I breathe (apparently there are lots of advantages to learning to automatically breathe from the bottom of your chest)
3. Some sort of mindfulness exercise.
Any ideas?
