Never thought I'd say this but when I am working, I actually appreciate traffic jams or sitting on airplanes/trains. Due to technology, I have the ability to get my work done during these down times. I can get caught up on voicemails, join conference calls, or just reach out to clients and co-workers by phone when otherwise I'd be too caught up in the hustle and bustle of the office to have time for that.

Even emails and texts now flow to me in my car and when I'm sitting in traffic, I can get on top of that work flow as well. Bluetooth technology has gotten to the point where I can have these messages read to me and then verbally respond and have them converted to text and sent out.

Even when there's no immediate work to be done, I have over 100 commercial free stations (Sirius XM) to listen to or I can listen to my personal music collection, have books read to me, or discover new music through Pandora - all in my car.

It's at the point now where I actually get a little bummed when the traffic starts moving again and I have to shift my attention back to driving.

Please don’t tell me you’re actually DOING OFFICE WORK when you’re driving in a traffic jam...
