[HOW TO]
by Roger B Rueda
Often,we are bored with the tedium of
shuttling to a particular place on the bus or other such modes of transport.
Normally, we don't have any cell service or Wi-Fi to use to entertain
ourselves. Possibly soon that will change but for now we are stuck with having
no access to the internet during these times. Well, for your convenience, we
have brought together a list of 5 useful things you could do on your smartphone
so thatyou can top up these hours you spend on your travel.
Improve Your Memory Skills
You can also use the time to sharpen up
your memory skills. Memory is something that atrophies with age and with lack
of use and by playing some games on your commute, you could improve your memory
in the process. For Android we would recommend memory trainer or brain workout.
Games like chess also help workout the logical side of your brain, not to
mention it’s a pretty fun game to play too.
Keep a Journal
Even if there are apps such as Friday that
create an automatic journal for you on your phone or tablet, you may want to
keep something more intimate, something that keeps a record of how you are
feeling and that’s where a digital journal comes in. You can reflect on your
thoughts and moods on that long train ride to and from work and soon enough you
may actually be doing it on a regular basis and loving it.
Do you have any other ideas of what someone
could spend their commute doing on their phone without an internet connection?

Learn a Craft
You can also learn to nurture your creative
side by learning a cool craft or skill using your mobile phone. You can use
apps that teach you how to sew and you can also download some apps that provide
a place for you to practice drawing or painting. All skills that may impress
someone who you might fancy or skills that you might just find fun.
Learn to Code
Learning to code is something that is
becoming more and more important with each passing day. You will find that it’s
a skill that will be good to put on your CV when you’re looking for a job as
well. You could perhaps learn C++ Programming or how to program on your own
Android phone.
Learn Languages
There are several apps you can use to learn
languages using your Android phone. You never know when you may find yourself
having to show you know a foreign language or when you may find yourself in a
foreign land where no one speaks English, so you might as well start practising
now. You can download apps such as Babbel or Duolingo to help you with this. Both
are free on the Google Play Store.
