How to Have a "Normal" Morning Commute While Working From Home
Take the “Mute” Out of Your Morning Commute
Get dressed, sit in your car, and listen to the radio just for the sake of it.
Eat your breakfast on your lap while you drive down the street.
Pull up YouTube videos of traffic jams while you make breakfast.
Ask Alexa to “Pull up traffic sounds” while you enjoy your morning coffee.
Drive down the street while honking at your neighbors just so you can feel something again.
Finish an episode of your favorite podcast by listening to it at 3x speed while you walk down the stairs.
Hire an Uber to take you around the block as you dial in to your first conference call.
Throw your dogs in the car so you can use the carpool lane on the way to pick up donuts for you and your roommate.
Drive to Starbucks and wait in line at the drive thru…with the coffee you brought from home.
Speaking of coffee, make a fresh, hot cup and spill it on yourself so you can remember what it was like in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
FaceTime your friend who’s still going into the office and ask them to hold the phone out the window like you’re a dog.
Play Grand Theft Auto V for a few minutes so you can remember that sweet, sweet feeling of road rage.
Go work at a co-working center so you can have an actual commute again.
