As a result, we&#8217;re offering some commuting tips to improve your work-life balance that won&#8217;t impact your productivity. We\u2019re focussing on how to make your commute more bearable. With 57% of the British population commuting to work by car and on average spending more than a year of their life doing so, we thought this would be a good place to start.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Tip 1 &#8211; Embrace routine\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We know that routine can feel repetitive, but a simple regime saves precious minutes and can reduce stress. You\u2019ll know exactly what you need to do in the morning, so you\u2019ll spend less time frantically rushing around. This is especially true if you have children and have to factor the dreaded school run into your commute too! In fact, we wrote about that very topic in a previous post on<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/back-to-school-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> how to make the school run easier.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Tip 2 &#8211; Travall products to protect your car\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another of our commuting tips is to make sure your vehicle is adequately protected throughout the journey. It\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll be off-roading on your way to work, but a lengthy daily commute can be just as taxing. Travall\u2019s protective accessories are designed to the exact specifications of each vehicle for a perfect fit.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/rubber-car-mats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> Travall Mats<\/a> are a great upgrade over the standard mats that come with your vehicle. They offer a premium, durable and waterproof finish. Next time you spill your coffee, all you need to do is simply remove the mats and hose them down. This is particularly useful if you\u2019re travelling with kids.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-8375\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Travall-Mats-01-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Travall-Mats-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Travall-Mats-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Travall-Mats-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Travall-Mats-01.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Audi A6 with Travall Mats<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Tip 3 &#8211; Relax\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A lot of us spend our home-bound commute thinking or worrying about work-related events that have occurred throughout the day. In reality, this has no positive impact on productivity and makes the return journey feel like an extension of the working day. Remember, \u201ctime you enjoy wasting is not wasted time\u201d. The origins of this quote are unclear, but its message is a great one. So one of my favourite commuting tips is to take the time to completely switch off from work. This way you\u2019ll soon start to look forward to your commute. Your favourite music is a brilliant way to unwind, but why not consider getting lost in a great audiobook or learning something new from an educational podcast?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><strong>Tip 4 &#8211; Install a Travall Guard and Divider <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For the last of our commuting tips we recommend installing a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/dog-guard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> Travall Guard<\/a> and a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travall.co.uk\/divider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> Travall Divider<\/a>. Not only will these accessories drastically increase your vehicle\u2019s loading capacity, but also allow you to make the best use of the available space in your vehicle. The divider is great for separating items that don\u2019t mix &#8211; think food shopping and gym kit! Both are quick and easy to install, as well as remove when necessary, leaving you more time to enjoy yourself away from work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-8376\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Guard-Divider-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Guard-Divider-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Guard-Divider-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Guard-Divider-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Guard-Divider-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.travall.com\/en-gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Guard-Divider-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Audi A6 with Travall Guard and Divider installed<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019d like to find out more about National Work Life Week, head to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.workingfamilies.org.uk\/nationalworklifeweek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"> Working Families<\/a>\u00a0website or use #WorkLifeWeek to get involved on social media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the start of National Work Life Week!
