People have the craziest convos on a train (I’m thinking Amtrak, Eurostar, etc) , especially the solo travelers who chat up the people sitting next to them. The last few times I’ve taken my headphones off on a train and tuned into the convos around me I learned and giggled a lot. Would highly recommend!

I always find that long train rides are the opportune moment to refresh the brain and lock in.
Think, you're sitting there with nothing else to do but work while also having momentary breaks to enjoy the scenery.
If I can't bring my laptop, I use train journeys as a way to clear my camera roll and de-clutter my phone.

Think: driving them to the airport during rush hour, moving furniture on a summer day, (in my case, see photo) cutting away at their badly overgrown garden when you are not a gardening gal. Or painting their bedroom on a whim, replacing their windshield fluid, or wrangling their demon cat for a trip to the vet.
I read a Manrepeller article (RIP) years ago that talked about how helping friends with these tedious, unrewarding tasks is where the real work of friendship begins. You don’t get so see how they get frustrated over brunch, but you do when you’re both unsuccessfully dragging a couch around a staircase corner, and getting To bond and troubleshoot that frustration opens whole new doors for closeness. This wisdom has never led me astray! I almost always leave these kinds of labor-based hangouts feeling closer and more held in friendship!
