Do you often find yourself taking your work home with you? For many business professionals, the work day doesn’t end when it’s time to leave the office. With a laptop or tablet in hand, many a worker finds that much more can be done after business hours. If this describes your work life, you’re likely someone who finds your drive home to be “wasted time”.
How beneficial would it be if you could handle your important career-based tasks while someone else did the driving for you?
Grow your career while avoiding the stress of commuting.
Turn your trip home into a productive venture. This can be especially advantageous if you’re typically stuck in bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic on your way home from work. Instead of having to focus on the road, you can take the time to review tomorrow’s presentation, update spreadsheets, respond to important emails or even take part in a conference call. Not to mention, being able to focus on completing your work can help to alleviate the stress that often comes with long and frustrating drives home.
As reported by Allie Turner for Vancouver Is Awesome, a 2023 TomTom Traffic Index study found that Vancouver ranks 31st in the world for worst traffic while Metro Vancouver is 58th. “Vancouver has the 4th worst traffic in North America beaten out only by Mexico City, New York, and Toronto,” she reveals, “Nationally, Vancouver’s rush hour commutes are ranked the second-worst in all of Canada.”
Get ahead of tomorrow’s work tasks.
Any tasks that haven’t been completed today only make for a busier tomorrow. Take some assignments off of your next day’s to-do list by utilizing your after-work commute. As mentioned, many people think of their drives home from work as “lost hours”. Having to maintain your focus on the road means not being able to concentrate on business-related tasks. This is true even if you’re in the middle of a hands-free phone call.
By getting a safe ride home from a designated driver, you can utilize the “extra time” in your day. Tackling upcoming responsibilities helps you to feel more prepared for the following morning. You may even get a little extra time to sleep in, eat breakfast and enjoy a more stress-free commute back to work.
Stay safe, focused and relaxed.
When you have a lot on your mind, it can be hard to focus on driving. Thinking about unfinished business, upcoming meetings or a particular concern in the workplace can distract you from being safe. Busy working professionals can find it tough to avoid texting, checking emails or making business calls while behind the wheel. Of course, this is dangerous.
Maybe you don’t have any work to do on the ride home. Even still, having someone else drive means you can take some well-needed time to relax after your hectic day. Enjoy listening to music or an audiobook. Check out the latest episode of your favourite show on Netflix. Meditate or even take a nap! The mental break will do you some good.
