Commuting 'me' time

It isn't just a figment of commuters' imaginations - the journey to work really is getting longer. It has in fact doubled, from an average journey time of 35 minutes in 2003 to 1 hour 5 minutes today, according to a recent survey by Peninsula, a UK employment law firm.

In the Work section of this Saturday's Guardian newspaper, we will be looking at how some commuters are making the most of this enforced "me time". Some are using it to study French, others to meditate, but they are all reclaiming what could otherwise be wasted time.

We'd like to hear what you do. What are you doing with that extra time stuck in your train, tube or car?
