Have you found yourself always fretting over traffic jams? You are not alone. One needs to have extremely high levels of tolerance to sail through the long standstills before once reaches home or work. Research shows that on an average a person spends nearly 2.5 hours on commuting. In metro cities, the annoying honking, choking pollution & tailgating are common plights that are sure to worsen day by day unless there is an amazing invention that can solve all of it.

 

The next time you see a long strip of red brake lights ahead of you, you will not whine coz we are giving you an exciting set of options that you can try out.

 

1.      Load that Jazz: Be it a heavy rock band or a soothing melody, different people have different tastes when it comes to music genres. Take some time out and create a playlist that can instantly pep your mood or calm you as the case may be.

2.      Find your favourite RJs: A lot of interesting stations have come up these days and each is constantly trying to come up the ladder by introducing various kinds of shows with witty RJs. If you haven’t tried tuning in to radio stations, we strongly recommend you try. You may just end up participating in a contest while waiting in traffic!

3.      Do your shopping on the go: Try checking all the things on your shopping list by stopping at the provision or grocery store on your way back home. This might indirectly give you the much needed break and give a good amount of distraction that your mind needs.

4.      Explore your routes: Instead of taking the same route again and again, consider taking a different route. Who knows- someday you might just end up finding a route that may save a couple of minutes and do you a huge favour. These days a lot of interesting apps like Google Maps, Waze, etc. help you get updated with traffic on a real-time basis.

5.      Munch on: Ensure that you’re stocked with snacks that you love, so that you can spend some time munching and making your tummy happy. After all, a hungry tummy has an angry face right?

6.      Tag a buddy: Having a travel partner is indeed a brilliant option but make sure that you choose a person with whom you can easily strike a chord.

7.      Hands-free calling: How nice it’d be to catch up with buddies in this busy world! It will not only help you stay in touch with friends but also cheer you up while you drive. (Make sure you have a Bluetooth while you do this.)

 

8.      Catch up on news updates: Load your smartphones with news apps that will let you be updated with all the latest happenings around the globe.

9.      Work, a strict NO NO: The last thing you’d want to do is to pull things from work and start doing them. Trust us, it will annoy you even more and decrease your efficiency.

10.  Listen to a movie: Yes, you heard us right. You can now buy media sources that have the audio of movies loaded. Some people enjoy listening to this by buying their favourite classics and spend time in remembering the scenes while the audio runs in the background.
