What could I do with all the time spent commuting? Sometimes my mind just wonders. Then I realize not everything needs to lead to a productive output and relax

mindless tasks

just putting on music or a podcast a ticking away at something mindless that needs getting done. batch editing photos, data inputting and admin anything that's kinda automatic and let's your mind wander

alone time

after spending the whole day interacting with other people i really like to look forward to when i get off work and i can drive around or just sit in my car in the parking lot. i'll either watch a show on my phone or read a book or listen to music or literally sit in silence. especially helps if you live with roomates or otherwise don't have your own space. i find this is great for me bc i feel like a little hamster in my own isolated ball having my enrichment time which then makes me feel reenergized to be around others. its low energy too if you don't feel like going for a walk but still want to be outside getting fresh air.

'wasting time'

this is actually a weekly ritual for me that I've been doing for like a year now. every weekend I block out at least 1 hour to just sit and 'waste time'. no screens, no music (these two are super important), just be outside and paying attention to the sounds and sights and smells. plus letting my mind wander. sometimes my wasting time is just a walk and taking film photos. or people watching. but the essence is you carve out a block of time to simply exist without any pressure to create or produce or do anything and to just do what you want. super grounding. another thing I make time for is at least a one hour block to make something with my hands. can be press on nails, jewellery, clay, whatever. my brain struggles to be still and this is the only way I get the stream of thoughts to chill. also there is something so fulfilling about making something with your hands and seeing the product of your handiwork and toil (insert Dostoyevsky quote here).
