When stuck in a traffic jam it can be frustrating, especially if you have to be somewhere or meet someone at a specific time, the clock is ticking, but there are a few things that you can do to help you retain a healthy art work life balance.

You can’t do much to speed things up so take advantage of the time in any way you can, you could retune your radio, find a new station, perhaps you’ll land on some great music or a lively local radio discussion.

You could try pressing the calculate alternative button, and take a different route to get to your destination, so pull over, make a call to say you’ll be late, look at a map and rejoin the traffic jam, it won’t last forever and you might stumble across something new on the airwaves or on your journey.
