Your daily trip to and from work doesn't have to be a complete waste of time. With some strategic planning you can easily use your commute to recharge and boost productivity. There are things you can do to change a lengthy commute from a frustrating time-eater to a productive part of your day. Here are 8 productive things you can do during your commute:

1. Bicycle or walk to work: Depending on how long your commute is, this is a great way to get in some exercise. It helps wake you up and keep your mind sharp, in addition to keeping your body in shape.

2. Reflect: Taking time each week during your commute to check in on your goals is a great way to stay on top of your to-do list. It's the perfect time to think about what in your life needs to be worked on.

3. Check emails and voice messages: If you’re not driving or riding a bicycle, your morning commute is a great time to get a head start on your workday. Attending to messages and answering emails on your way to work will help you get a good start on the work day.

4. Check in on your social networks: If you’re not driving, use your phone or tablet to interact with your network of business contacts on social media by sharing information and engaging with them.

5. Listen to music or audio books: These activities can help you relax and support your ongoing learning and development.

6. Mentally prepare for the day: If you'd like to get a head start on your day, you can use your commute time to get ready for what's on your calendar. You can also use this time to plan the rest of your day outside the work place. A workday without distractions relating to after-work responsibilities or activities can be far more productive.

7. Create a to-do list: Your commute is the perfect time to create a to-do list or fine-tune the one you’ve already made. By creating a to-do list and prioritizing the day's responsibilities, you're setting yourself up to have a more organized and focused workday. If you can't actually write a list because you're driving, it can still be useful to use a voice recorder.

8. Check in with your friends and family: You may have very limited time for this type of communication throughout the rest of the day, so use your commute time to call your parents, chat with your significant other, or text your friends (as long as you’re not driving).

    Incredible pilot's-eye view pictures show what it is like to fly in the Red Arrows.


    The photos where taken from the cockpit of the iconic jets as the squadron trained over the skies of East Yorkshire.



    Team photographer SAC Hannah Beevers captured images from the backseat of Red 10's
    jet - showing her comrades flying in formation.

    The shots show the Squadron flying over York Minster, the Humber Bridge and Humberside Airport before
    heading back to their base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.


    The Squadron is renowned for daring displays and brought the whole formation together for the first time this season just three weeks ago.



    The Red Arrows begin training for the forthcoming season almost as soon as the previous year has ended.


    Preparation starts with small groups of three or four aircraft formations and the formations grow in aircraft number as training progresses.
