Essential Tips to Improve Your Morning Commute

 Getting ready for work is always such a dreadful thing to do every morning. You're sleepy but in a hurry knowing you need to get dressed and go make that green. To top it all off, you have a (hopefully short) commute you have to make to get to wherever you're working and that just makes things so much worse. But, it doesn't have to be all that bad. Your morning drive is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some "me time" while waking up and preparing yourself for the work day. 

If you're feeling down in the dumps lately about your drive, check out Toyota of Clermont's essential tips right here and drive in comfort today!

Clermont morning commute tips.

Making Your Morning Commute Better One Step at a Time

1) Change Things Up (Route-Wise)

A large part of why your Clermont morning commute feels so bad is because it's become so mundane. You drive the same route the same way every day and it can get old fast. So, this is your opportunity to change things up. Pull of your handy maps app and search for a few new routes to try out! Make sure to pick a route that you won't get lost driving on (use your GPS) and one that's similar as far as drive time. 

2) Always Keep Your Interior Clean and Polished

Another reason you might hate your morning commute so much is because you're subconsciously stressing about the mess that's become your Clermont Toyota car's interior. Having a messy environment is enough to stress out the best of us and the easiest solution is to clean it! Organize your ride, clean the surfaces, and vacuum the floor and ride in comfort tomorrow. 

3) Snack and Enjoy Some Café

If you spend your morning commute with your sagging and bag-infested eyeballs glued to the road, good job. But also, the intense focus might be a little unnecessary and it's making you resent morning driving. Instead, bring along a small breakfast snack and some coffee. These will help nourish you and put you in a good spot before your day gets started. 

4) Take Your Time

We've all had mornings where we've rolled out of bed and right into the driver's seat (hopefully not because PJs aren't an acceptable uniform yet). Instead, give yourself some extra time to collect yourself and wake up before starting your journey. Another great idea is to make a surprise pit stop before you head into work, like a Clermont area WaWa or other gas station for a snack and some coffee. 

5) Socialize a Bit

Do you know someone else who has to endure the terrible exhaustion of waking up early? Share in your collective misery by calling them. Chatting with someone is a great way to pass the time when you're behind the wheel and a stimulating conversation just might be the ticket to waking yourself up.

6) Play Some Energizing New Tunes, a New Audiobook, Whatever

Driving in silence is enough to make anyone fall asleep (Jesus, take the wheel). To remedy the quiet lull of the road and the horns of angry morning commuters in Clermont, play something. Whether that be music, an audiobook, podcast, or anything else. This will keep you actively listening while driving and keep you stimulated.
