Long flights can be dreadful. Especially when Wi-Fi is down or the in-flight movies are less than appealing, if there is one. You can always read a book, listen to music, or sleep, but for long flights, we recommend you to focus on making it more productive and enjoyable.
Travel Time, Productive Time
If you travel more than once per year for business purposes, your travel time should become in your most productive time. Use this time to give the final touch to that presentation, write your blog posts or brainstorm for your meetings. If you are going to be away from home, make the most of your time also by doing simple stuff like organizing your phone. Free up some memory by getting rid of apps you never use and stick to those business travel apps you will definitely take advantage of.
Listen to podcasts
Podcasts are a great, free source of entertainment. The best part about podcasts is that you can download them and listen to them offline. You can listen to podcasts related to your business field, or anything that makes your travel more enjoyable.
Learn a new language
This a perfect option if you regularly travel internationally. There are tons of apps or handy books that you can travel with and will help you master your second language or, why not? learn a new one. Learning one or two languages can really boost your career.
Adult Coloring Book
Adult coloring books will help you relieve stress before you get to your destination. Aside from being a fun activity to kill time, there are claims that coloring has therapeutic benefits such as relieving stress or anxiety. If you prefer not to carry a bunch of crayons or colored pencils, you can even download coloring books on your tablet. Or just a blank paper and a pen will be enough to awaken your creativity.
Edit your photos
Chances are, you have tons of photos on your phone–some may need more attention than others. Keep it simple with basic edits like brightness and contrast or play around with cool filters and special effects. You can edit some photos of your colleagues and show them at your meetings to add a little fun.
