What are fun things I can do on my commute that aren’t reading/listening?
For work I have a 20 minute train journey followed by a 30 minute wait for my next train, on the way home I have a different commute but still around 40 minutes. I’m not big into scrolling on my phone and kind of stopped listening to music on my commute, I’m sensitive to noise so I really relish quiet time. At the moment I basically just spend my time thinking and looking around during my commute which is fine but I’d like to reclaim at least a little bit of that time for some fun.
I like to read but can’t focus in public, even if I have earplugs or noise cancelling headphones, the movement of people around me also distracts me. I also don’t enjoy audiobooks and would rather not do something sound related.
I’m super creative and draw a lot but don’t really want to do it in public because it’s something I prefer to do in private.
I like puzzles but suck at them other than sudoku and occasionally connections. I’ve seen people knit and crochet on the train which I’ve tried before but I also kind of suck at it (although I’m open to trying this again).
I have a switch but don’t really want to take it out with me every day and I literally never see people my age playing a switch in public so I’d feel a bit silly.
I’ve tried learning languages but it feels more like a productivity thing to me rather than just a fun activity, I don’t have a lot of brain power for it before/after work.
I know that takes away a lot of options that people generally suggest but is there anything else I could do? I feel like there must be other things out there besides these handful of activities.
Thanks in advance!!!
(Please don’t be mean to me for having a list of things I don’t want to do hahaha)
