Sleep, at least on the ride into work. Rest is a force multiplier with respect to intelligence. If I'm too awake to sleep on the way in, I will keep my eyes closed anyway, and meditate for the full hour. I get off the train relaxed, energized and fully prepared for the workday.
On the way home, I chat with the other regulars. I try not to spend too much time staring at a screen, considering what I do for a day job. Often I will read, draw, listen to music, or just take time to reflect on the day.
I suppose my own personal conclusion is that, while I do enjoy distractions, not every hour needs to be packed with activities. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to rest, reflect and relax.
