Commuting is a necessary evil for many of us. But there are a few things you can do to make it less of a drag, maybe even to the point that you actually kinda sorta enjoy it. OK, maybe not quite that, but Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA offers up these tips to make commute more pleasant.
AVOID RUSH HOUR: We know how that goes: traffic that crawls, drivers getting angrier and more frustrated. To the degree that you can, schedule your commute to miss the high-congestion times. Getting to work a bit early – or leaving a little later – goes a long way in keeping your nerves unfrazzled.
TAKE THE LONG WAY: When it comes to commuting, the shortest distance isn’t always between two points. Taking the longer way whenever you can helps you avoid the frustrations of stop-and-start traffic. The extra few minutes pays off in a calmer mood, plus, you’ll get better fuel efficiency (something we can all appreciate these days).
JOIN A CARPOOL: Carpooling offers several advantages: you have people to chat with, you save money on gas plus wear and tear on your Toyota. Carpooling a few times a week allows you to relax and do other things besides watching the road.
MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC: There’s a reason radios were installed in cars starting way back; listening to music lifts your mood and makes any drive more pleasant. Today’s Toyota vehicles allow you to access your personal playlists. In fact, why not create a few of them to match a mood, day of the week, etc.? A personal soundtrack instantly makes a commute better.
USE THE TIME WISELY: Make the most of your commuting time by using hands-free Bluetooth (like what you’ll find in the Toyotas from Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield) to catch up on phone calls and texts. You could also listen to an educational podcast or audiobook or learn a language. With every mile, you’ll be getting smarter!
TIDY UP: Your commute will be much more pleasant if you’re not surrounded by empty coffee cups or food wrappers. Take some time every couple of weeks to clean things out and run a handheld vacuum over the seats and rug. A dashboard air freshener is another nice touch.
Toyota gives you plenty of the safety and entertainment technology to make your daily drive a (almost) pleasure!
