If you're anything like me, you find the accumulated hours you've spent sat idly on the train: twiddling your thumbs, looking out of the window, mindlessly swiping between apps, just a little bit daunting. We only have so much time in the day and it's much easier to go to sleep at night feeling satisfied, knowing that we've used our time productively and mindfully, making the most of every moment. Here are 20 ways to really make your train journeys count.
1. Read a good book
2. Take pictures
3. Learn something new
4. Be creative - write, draw or compose music
5. Research the history of your destination
6. Do your homework/coursework
7. Watch a movie or series or play a video game
8. Practice self-care (nail filing, journal-ing, stretching, walking etc.)
