Merrytrips Brings You The Best Tips to Save Time on Airlines
Plan and pack
Spend some minutes getting your inflight activities in order before you even board your plane. Make a long checklist of all the things you may want to achieve in the first place. This could be anything from completing a project, writing letters, reading some chapters of books, or booking your travel plans. Just make sure ahead that you have downloaded the content you need onto your devices. You can consume offline content be it music, e-books, movies, television series, or even work documents. Just make sure all of your gadgets are charged before you head to the airport, and don't forget a portable charger so you don't end up with dead batteries mid-air. I also want to remind you to adjust your digital workspace: make sure all the necessary files are easily accessible and that all apps have the latest updates installed.
Organize Your Desk
Keeping your physical workspace organized will save you a lot of time and make you so much more efficient. Fill a small, convenient bag with everything you are going to need on the plane: pens, notepads, headphones, chargers, and anything else you might want to have with you. Make your sleeping area comfortable with an eye mask, a light blanket, and a neck pillow. You can minimize the time you waste fumbling through your purse while flying if you organize your stuff and keep all your important things within reach. This helps you stay focused and be more productive since you are less stressed and save time.
Work Efficiently
Make your flight worth it by focusing on work doable without an internet connection. As an example, drafting reports, email writing replies, or doing data organization on digital platforms is ideal for this environment. Noise-canceling headphones may help reduce outer noise inuplicating a quiet workspace. Your ability to focus and work efficiently can surely be enhanced if you do that. Also, you could consider bringing along a portable laptop stand in case you will be using a laptop to be able to maintain good posture and set your eyes in a rather neutral position for the whole workforce. Remember also to get up once in a while, stretch, and move around to maintain good blood flow and minimize fatigue.
Learn
New Flights offers a great opportunity for learning—away from most of the usual distractions. Get some instructive podcasts or even audiobooks on topics that interest you or are relevant to your line of work. All these can be played on the plane to make the traveling time educational. You can also learn a foreign language offline with apps like Duolingo or Babbel. This will be especially helpful when visiting a country where the language is spoken. You can also download courses for offline use with most online learning platforms, like Coursera or Udemy, which will help you finish up your education while traveling.
Personal Development
You can use this flying time for personal development. You can unwind your mind with apps like Calm or Headspace through guided meditation and mindfulness programs. Another good use of your time is to journal; getting your thoughts, experiences, and desires down on paper can allow for reflection on the same. For future action, this could provide inspiration as well as understanding. Keeping a book or e-reader full of inspirational or informational material also serves in personal growth by keeping you motivated and focused on your personal and professional development.
Keep Talking
Stay in touch with the outside world if your flight offers Wi-Fi. Tick off some emails or keep up with work tasks; even log on to social media. Now is an excellent opportunity to reach out and touch those friends and colleagues, network with prospective contacts, and update your professional accounts. But remember data caps and battery life. In case you need to go offline, download any emails or documents that you might need in advance. That way, you'll keep chugging if in-flight WiFi is spotty or slow.
Plan Your Trip
The takeoff phase is a great time to organize the details of your trip. Open up your travel itinerary and make any necessary changes. Research local attractions one can visit, restaurants, and activities to do where you are going to spend your time. With the control of travel expenses and budget, be assured of stability in finances all through this period of adventure. Also, a travel journal may help facilitate the planning and holiday memory by jotting down what is encountered on your travels.
Snooze, then refresh
Sleep is rather important, especially with a difficult schedule ahead. Avail the flight time by catching more sleep. Add items like neck pillows, earplugs, and eye masks to help improve your sleeping comfort. Do relaxation techniques by breathing deeply and unconsciously moving your limbs to keep calm and in control of your comfort zone. This could help you to arrive at your destination well-rested, and energetic, and greatly reduce jet lag.
Entertainment
It's always a good idea to squeeze in some entertainment during flights. You could play some games, watch some TV programs, or even movies on the in-flight entertainment system, or bring your own in the form of your own publications, music playlists, and novels on an e-reader or tablet. Making a playlist of your favorite or calming songs is another way to be entertained during travel. This way, long trips may seem shorter and will become more enjoyable once you are entertained.
