I’ve just realised that I talk a lot in my articles about commuting by train, especially when I talk about productivity.

I mean, there’s a lot to talk about, especially from the productivity and content creation side of things.

To set the theme, I travel to the office at least twice a week by train. The train trip takes around an hour each way and if I take the train with a change, it takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes each way.

That gives me around 2 hours per day for doing something productive that does add up. I mean on a normal week I get over 4 hours of time I can use to do something productive. This is the time that I would usually spend looking out of the window and listening to music.
