Whether you are going on vacation or taking a quick trip to visit family, sitting in a car for hours can be torture. If you are anything like me, you grow restless of staring out the window. Take the alternative view, this can be the perfect opportunity to get work done. It is just an extended period of free time, so here are ten things to keep you busy:
1. Read a book
I say this with caution. Reading in a moving vehicle can often lead to car sickness.
2. Jam out
What could be more entertaining than throwing your own concert? Your throat my be little sore after, but the hundreds of thousands of fans will still be screaming your name.
3. Contemplate mortality
Why do humans exist? Why am I here? Do extraterrestrials actually exist?
4. Doodle
You don't have to be good at it, just put pen to paper and see what happens. If doodling isn't your thing, then try out a coloring book.
5. Create unrealistic scenarios
Car rides provoke inspiring thought. There is no better time to sit as trees pass you by to daydream that perfect day when your crush finally asks you out or your wildest dreams come true.
6. Play cringey car games
Avoid these at all costs. They are absolutely horrendous. If push comes to shove, play I Spy or Would You Rather.
7. Eat
Who doesn't love food? You now also have the perfect excuse to by your favorite snack!
8. Text a friend
Text a friend to help pass the time. It can be a current friend or maybe even an old one. Long, distraction-free car rides are the perfect time to catch up.
9. Sleep
While its not the most exciting thing to do, it's an easy way to pass the time quickly.
10. Stream
Whatever television show you are working on, now is the perfect time to continue watching it. Thank goodness for unlimited data.
