日記63 : Long Train Commutes

For many working people, it’s difficult to avoid long train commutes. There are not so many fully remote job opportunities now, and houses near usual workplaces are insanely expensive.
Many people hate traveling long distances on trains every day. Of course it's understandable why, especially during rush hour when the trains are packed.

However, there are also positive aspects to consider. The train ride becomes a time for personal growth and productivity, as long as it's not too crowded to move at all. With the advent of smartphones, we can read books, listen to podcasts, or learn new skills through some apps.

For me, it's much easier to concentrate on reading a book on the train than at home. I also love listening to my favorite music on the train. 
On the other hand, if the train ride is only a few minutes long and there's nothing I can do, so I'd hate my daily commute to be like that.
