3 suggestions for making effective use of commuting time. Study efficiently using text-to-speech software

The way people use their commuting time from home to the office varies from person to person.

However, not many people are making effective use of it.

In this article, we will explain how to make effective use of your commuting time.

Average Commuting Time for People Working in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area

According to the results of the "Tokyo Metropolitan Area Office Worker Survey 2019" by Xymax Real Estate Institute, Inc., the average one-way commute to an office in the Tokyo metropolitan area is 49 minutes.

For example, if the daily commuting time is "49 minutes × 2 = 98 minutes (1 hour 38 minutes)," the time spent on commuting in one month is approximately 33 hours.

This means you are spending 396 hours a year on commuting.

When converted into days, it means that 16.5 days out of the year are used solely for commuting.

Is there no way to make effective use of this commuting time?

Utilizing Commuting Time is Very Difficult

Commuting time is also a period when it is difficult to utilize your time effectively.

For those who commute by train, it is not always guaranteed that you will be able to sit down.

Many people commute while standing, and sometimes transfers are required.

For those who commute by car, doing anything other than driving constitutes distracted driving. It is a serious violation.

Of course, you must continue to focus on driving.

It is quite difficult to try to use time effectively in such situations.

Many people probably spent their time sleeping on the train when they were commuting to school as students, right?

After becoming a working adult, commuting by car might often involve nothing more than just driving.

However, in fact, simply changing the way you use this commuting time to be more effective could potentially change your life dramatically.

Various Ways to Spend Commuting Time

There are truly many different ways to spend your commuting time.

For example, for someone commuting by train:

• Watching movies or dramas
• Checking the news
• Mobile games
• Reading
• Sleeping

Everyone spends their commuting time in a wide variety of ways.

Suggestions for Making Effective Use of Commuting Time

By making effective use of this commuting time, there is a possibility that your life will change significantly.

You are spending much more time every day on commuting than you might think.

If you can use this time well, your life might become much richer.

What we recommend is:

• Studying for certifications
• Listening to audiobooks
• Listening to news or blogs

and so on.

Studying for Certifications

If you can study and obtain a certification, your life choices, such as salary increases or career changes, may expand significantly.

For example, bookkeeping.

• Required study time for Bookkeeping Level 3 is approximately 50 hours
• Required study time for Bookkeeping Level 2 is approximately 100 hours

This means that studying for Bookkeeping Level 3 is equivalent to 1.5 months of commuting time.

For Bookkeeping Level 2, you can complete sufficient study by utilizing 3 months' worth of commuting time.

Listening to Audiobooks

"I want to read, but I can't open a book during my commute."

"It's not an environment where I can concentrate on reading a book."

To those people, I would like to suggest audiobooks.

By using audiobooks, even if it is difficult to read a book with your eyes, you can listen to the contents of the book just by lending an ear.

An audiobook is a service that reads books aloud to you.

It is a new way to enjoy books that is different from silent reading.

Audiobooks cover various genres, and you will surely find books that you want to read!

Also, for those who say "I'm not good at reading books," audiobooks provide a different sensation because you are simply listening to a narration.

There is no doubt it will be an opportunity to engage with books in an enjoyable way.

What we recommend is creating your own original audiobooks using an AI Ondoku tool.

It's perfectly fine to just use text-to-speech software!

With text-to-speech software, you can easily have any text you want read aloud.

Since it will read anything as long as it is text, you can use it not only during commuting time but also when you find silent reading to be a hassle.

Once you start using it, you'll find it more convenient than you expected and you'll get hooked.

This time, we introduced new suggestions for making effective use of commuting time.

By utilizing your commuting time in a way that suits you, boring travel time can become colorful and varied.

Instead of just being overwhelmed by daily life, doing something else might lead to finding a "new you."

Even if you've never read much before or have no interest in the news, why not try using a text-to-speech service to start "listening" activities?

You might make some unexpected discoveries!
