If you have a long daily commute to the office, there are many ways to make it more productive and get work done while you travel. For instance, you can turn your smartphone into a mobile hotspot and log onto your laptop while riding the train or bus. Or, you can get a Bluetooth headset and return business calls while driving. Try out these gadgets and apps - you might even start enjoying your trips to and from the office.

1) Treblab Z2 Headphones

2) The Pocket App

Even if you turn your phone into a hotspot, download times while you travel can be painfully slow. And if you are underground on a subway or on a plane, you will probably be without an Internet connection altogether. The Pocket App solves these common commuter problems by allowing you to save videos, articles and other items to view offline. You can drag stuff into Pocket from your computer browser, your email, or even other apps like Twitter. Then, access it during your commute.

4) Android Auto

The Android Auto app allows for safer driving by offering a simplified interface and large buttons for easy switching between GPS navigation, media, calls and messages.

With larger touch targets, a simplified interface, and your Google Assistant, it’s designed to minimize distraction so you can stay focused on the road.

5) MileIQ

For many drivers, commuting and business driving expenses used for tax deductions or charity go together. MileIQ uses your device’s system clock and GPS to automatically track and log each of your trips. It accurately notes the start and stop times as well as total miles driven down to a fraction of a mile. You can quickly categorize trips as business, personal or charity and the data can be quickly exported as IRS compliant expense spreadsheets. Once MileIQ is installed, it works in the background. There are no buttons to press to start or stop. Your miles are automatically logged and recorded, creating a complete record of all your tax deductible and reimbursable mileage. Simply add your vehicles, purposes and locations.

6) Wunderlist

If you like to get organized first thing in the morning, use your commuting time to list the things you need to accomplish that day using the Wunderlist app. Wunderlist syncs between your mobile devices and your personal computers, allowing you to drag and drop tasks between days and categories. Whether you are managing multiple work projects, planning a holiday or sharing a shopping list with a partner, Wunderlist will help you to list and tick off all your professional and personal to-dos.

7) ASAM

It is very satisfying to arrive at the office with a clean inbox. Why not use your commuting time to go through emails and delete anything extraneous before even arriving at work? It will save you at least half an hour and a loss of momentum during the most productive time of day.

While you are driving, you can now use ASAM to read your emails. The app will read your emails out loud word-for-word including disclaimers, signatures, and other information you might have skipped otherwise. When the message is finished, the app will ding and you have the option to dictate a reply.

8) HubSpot Mobile

Thanks in part to apps like HubSpot Mobile, it is no longer absolutely necessary to be at your desk to get your work done. Those days are close to being gone. Using this app, you can take advantage of your HubSpot software, even while you are commuting. It starts with a customizable dashboard that gives you an at-a-glance breakdown of the most important metrics to you - landing page, blog, and email performance, as well as deals and sales tasks.

You can also easily access your contacts database, marketing insights like email analytics, and your sales pipeline. For that last part, you can use the app to add notes, activities, or tasks, and keep track of deal stages.

9) Daily Commute

The best predictor for your daily commute is your past commutes. The Daily Commute app lets you mine that data so that you can plan your departure accordingly to optimize your commute. It is essentially a timer and tracks how long you take to get to and from work - including any delays - and records the data. It then uses the information to give you a more accurate estimate of when you need to leave each day, and how long your trip will be. Stats provide an eye-opening look at your punctuality. You can even add notes about your commute. The more data it compiles, the more accurate its predictions, so you will get the best results if you use it regularly.

10) Trello

You can now take charge of your to-do list before the work day even starts with Trello. Ease your stress, and arrive at work feeling less frenzied. It is a free, easy to use to-do list app, available on smartphones, computers and tablets. Trello is simple to use with a drag-and-drop functionality and the ability to share and edit to-do lists within a team.
