Transition TIME

Most of us lose 40-90 minutes a day in transition time
This is time standing in dining hall and registration lines, waiting for class to begin, picking up a friend who isn't yet ready, etc.

These precious minutes can be productively used for learning new vocabulary, reviewing class notes, writing a letter to family or friend, or keeping current with a best selling book.

Two friends provide good examples. One always keeps a writing pad in her handbag and whenever she waits in line, like a check-out register at the supermarket, she whips out the pad and writes a thank-you note. Another friend keeps a book in the glove compartment of his car. Whenever he is waiting for someone, out comes the book and a few more pages get read!
