10-20 mins bike ride via bike share - I use Overcast to listen to podcasts at 2x+ speed, shorten silences, and voice boost. Since I&#x27;m biking, somehow the speed of bike matches really well.<p>On Caltrain, I tether my wi-fi. If you&#x27;re on the fastest bullet, don&#x27;t bother trying to get internet, it doesn&#x27;t work. Otherwise, the moderately fast bullet or the regular trains will give you reasonable internet to answer email.<p>Oh, I also use VLC with a tv show or movie and watch at 1.25-2X speed so that I can watch a whole thing in a fairly short span of time. You&#x27;ll realize it works pretty well.<p>Additionally, I swear by Pocket (which also reads articles to you), Voice Dream (which integrates with a bunch of other things and can read to you as well at a fairly fast clip). If I&#x27;m reading, I&#x27;ll also use the Kindle app or potentially  have my Kindle with me.<p>If I&#x27;m reading an online article, I&#x27;ve been trying to train myself with Spreed so that I&#x27;m reading faster.<p>I&#x27;ve seen others just play games on their mobile devices or use dating apps - both of which seem to magically make the commute disappear.
