According to Jakarta Now, the average commute time for people in Jakarta is about 1.5 to 3 hours per trip. Many people spend this commute time playing mobile games, watching internet content etc. But long commute times doesn’t have to mean time wasted! Here are some creative ways to make the most out of your daily commute:

Listen to Podcast

With so much Podcast content available on the internet, you can pretty much learn anything under the sun if you have a mobile phone with an internet connection! Whether it is economics, science, engineering, or any other skills, all these content can be accessed very easily for free! Tip: to save on your data consumption, don’t forget to download the Podcast before you hit the road!

Take a Class

Platforms like Coursera and Edx provides free online classes taught by real professors from top universities worldwide. There are so many free high quality classes on these platforms that you can actually get an “MBA-level” education for almost no cost! Check out the No Pay MBA blog for the sample curriculum.

Learn a New Language

In this globalized world, being bilingual or even trilingual is a valuable skill to have. Knowing a new language will not only help you career-wise, but also helps you learn about a whole new culture that would otherwise be foreign to you. Learning a new language doesn’t have to be hard too. Apps like Duolingo and Memrise gamifies the language learning process and makes the process super easy!

Listen to Relaxing Music

If being productive during your commute is way too overwhelming, you can also listen to some relaxing music to calm yourself down. Use music to try to disconnect yourself from the hectic commuting environment so that you can feel fresh and in a good mood when you meet your family at home

How Coworking Spaces Help Reduce Employee Commute

Companies move their offices to better located (close to public transportation, free from odd even restrictions, etc)  coworking space and serviced offices to help employees reduce commute times. This is a move that would be very expensive to take in the past. In the recent years, following the growth of coworking spaces and serviced office in Jakarta CBD, it makes it much more affordable for companies to move their office to a more central location. Making your employees’ commute shorter and easier can help reduce stress, keep employees more engaged, thus boosting your team productivity!
