  • Keep your car clean: This will help you feel better about sitting in your car for long periods of time. Wipe down surfaces regularly to keep germs from building up and you can even keep a garbage bag in your car to help keep the clutter at bay.
  • Listen to podcasts or audiobooks: Connecting your smartphone to your vehicle’s infotainment system, you can use your car speakers to broadcast a podcast you love or an audiobook. Whether you choose personal development content or a gripping fiction novel, getting out of your head can help the time pass.
