How to deal with a long commute without losing your mind

by Shahrin Hasim·August 27, 2025

Podcast or audiobooks (I finished 24 books in one year commuting). Language app. Avoid news on the way in, it spikes cortisol. On the way back, music only. Treat commute as transition time.

Podcasts made commuting something I actually looked forward to. Better than music for mental stimulation during traffic.

Language learning during commute is one of the highest ROI uses of otherwise dead time. Mandarin in one year of commuting.
