<\/a>Stuck in EDSA Traffic? You can still be productive, mommy. (Photo Credits)<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Being stuck in traffic is one of the worst timesucks ever, and we all know that. I remember this facebook post i read that the best solution to EDSA traffic is to have everyone go through this traffic monster of a highway using a Zip Line. Anyway, not to be whiny or nega, but in our country, either you are stuck in heavy traffic, or stuck in the MRT queue, unless of course you have given up and you are now just working from home.<\/p>\n Believe me, whether you belong to Club 501<\/a> or not, most working mothers believe EDSA is robbing families of quality time<\/a>. Anyway, since the solution to this is out of our hand (unless we move to a new home within walking distance to our place of work), we just have to bite the bullet and wait the heavy traffic out.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s a mom to do during those idle minutes (or hours) while stuck in EDSA <\/a>Traffic? And when all you can do is to watch people, stare at your smartphone, or listen to music? As a Pinay Mommy be productive during these wait times?<\/p>\n 1. Update you things to do. <\/strong>For it to be more manageable, group it into tasks that are urgent, needed soon, and those that can wait.<\/p>\n 2. Map out your meal plan for the coming week<\/strong>. Use the wait time to think of the meals you would like to prepare for the week<\/a> to come. You can just make the list on your smartphone\u2019s notepad, use your app if you are into that, or better yet, check these past meal plans<\/a> that I come up with on a weekly basis and edit as you deem fit. If you have a data plan, or internet connectivity then why not research on recipes you may want to try.<\/p>\n 3. Running Grocery List<\/strong>. List down the things you may need to buy from the grocery so that you can easily incorporate it into the weekly ones that you use during your supermarket trips.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n =============================================================================================================<\/p>\n =================================================================================================================<\/p>\nHere are 12 things to do while stuck in EDSA traffic or any heavy traffic location for that matter:<\/strong><\/h1>\n
