Spending time commuting

I don't have the necessary ability to be able to commute anymore, that's why I always have the profound respect to commuters. It's the waiting that I can't understand, but that's just me.

Here are some of the things that you can do while waiting:

  1. Wall yourself with a pair of headphones. When your sorrounding is barely acceptable and you just can't wait to get there. Watch your bag, though.
  2. A good read. If you like to read, you can easily be flown elsewhere. It doesn't have to be a book, it can be your favorite RSS reader or ebook reader. I don't really understand fiction, but RSS can waste hours for me. You can be reading just about anything very seriously, so it's easy to spend many time. If you're using a screen instead of a paper, be mindful or the contrast ratio.
  3. Hum. No, you don't have to start a tune, dance with a suddenly sorrounding mob and run around in the rain. You can still have that in your head though, but keep your feet and those around you dry.
  4. Games. You can even be entertaining to those around you.
  5. Photo crazy. There's Picplz, MyTubo or Instagram. It's easier to take pictures and there are many filters to choose. Go crazy.

Tulisan yang Menarik

Tulisan yang menarik tidak hanya bergantung pada informasi yang kita berikan, tapi juga cara kita menyampaikan informasi tersebut.

Dalam keseharian, mungkin kita kerap punya waktu yang sempit untuk menulis mengenai hal tertentu. Saya belum menemukan tips yang dapat digunakan untuk semua jenis tulisan, tapi tips di bawah ini dapat digunakan untuk berbagai macam tulisan.

  1. Judul yang menarik perhatian
  2. Pilihlah kata-kata yang tidak terlalu rumit dan teknikal, dengan demikian akan lebih banyak lagi orang yang dapat memahami tulisan tersebut
  3. Gunakan kalimat yang pendek dan sederhana. Informasi yang menarik adalah informasi yang dapat dimengerti dengan mudah
