As short as 3-4 days, as long as 1 month. Moreover, a large part of time is spent on transportation. It takes at least four hours to get from one place to another, and some people have to change trains several times. It is normal to exceed 12 hour.
According to my rich business experience, I share some thoughts about luggage, ticket purchase by bus and hotel selection. And combined with several common scenes, talk about how I spent it.
My luggage considers itself a minimalist, but at the same time it is also a hedonist. It is difficult to travel, let alone travel alone. How can you live up to your tired body without material enjoyment? Therefore, my trip to EDC is rich, and every project can bring happiness from different angles.
My luggage is mainly divided into two parts, one is a suitcase and the other is a backpack. Everything I don't need on the road will be put in my suitcase, and my backpack will contain my travel EDC.
It is important to water the plants before leaving. Every business trip means not being in the dormitory for ten and a half months. Even though the green basket was full of water before going out, I went back several times and found that the leaves were withered and yellow because of lack of water. So in addition to adding water before going out, I also set a reminder to ask my roommate to help me add water.
I installed several Mijia smart products in the dormitory: Mijia desk lamp, air conditioning companion, Mijia fan, Xiaomi smart plug and Xiaomi display. And set up a number of automatic operation commands, such as turning on the air conditioner for heating half an hour before work. Turn off these automation before going on a business trip to avoid wasting electricity "although you don't have to pay the electricity bill".
Commuting EDC in the first half of 2020
After the latest update.
My commuting tools are mainly high-speed trains (hereinafter referred to as high-speed trains), and the items in my backpack are needed when traveling, mainly to improve the comfort of traveling. According to personal opinions, the promotion effect of business trip comfort is ranked as follows:
Xintianyou U-shaped pillow: Sitting on a business trip for a long time makes the waist and shoulders the most uncomfortable. With these two inflatable pillows, the relief is about 80%. AirPods Pro: Compared with the noisy environment, the most unbearable thing is the child's crying, which is sharp and harsh; Noise-canceling headphones saved me, but the battery life was a serious injury. AirPods Pro is temporarily replaced when it is charged. Paper towels, wet wipes, etc. Keep your hands and mouth clean; Lipstick, keep your lips moist; Microfiber cloth keeps the screen of electronic products clean, such as wiping fingerprints. Invoice package: store all bills to be reimbursed. Netease coin purse: bank card, ID card, small change. IPad Air: the road has always been used to brush dramas, but? It feels more space-consuming. Gradually switch to mobile phone+mobile phone stand instead? ; After putting it in the suitcase, the backpack has been lightened a lot. Fresh-keeping box: the fruit eaten on the road will not be crushed. The luggage carried has been dynamically adjusted to pursue the balance between minimalism and comfort. For example, the smaller AirPods Pro replaced the second-generation Bose QC 35, the mobile phone replaced the iPad, and the iPad was stored in the suitcase.
The suitcase I bought is a 20-inch boarding box of Netease YEATION. According to a certain evaluation, its capacity is 1 in all boarding boxes. It is made of PU, and the box itself is very light. We used 1 piece and bought it later. Although it's a boarding box, it's basically checked. Don't like to drag heavy boxes? Squeeze into a narrow cabin.
65438+Luggage items for business trip in Guangdong, Fujian in February 2020.
The items in the suitcase are mainly divided into several pieces: business backpack, clothes storage, toiletries storage and other items.
What about the business backpack? Credit cards are mainly used to store Mac, iPad, information needed for business trip, pens and paper.
The clothes storage bag is clothes that need to be changed on business trip, which Xiaomi bought. You brought a set this time? Exercise? Bag, two coats, a pair of trousers, a thin coat, five pairs of socks and three pairs of underwear, with huge capacity.
Travel to Fujian and Guangdong in June 5438+February 2020, with 90 points.
Electric toothbrush is a product that can never be returned after use. I carry it everywhere, and several of them are worn out. The new one is Susie's, and the charging interface is C interface, so you can take one less line!
Try to buy about 100ml of toiletries. The sample capacity of Kiehl's Facial Cleanser and Calendula Water is just right, enough for about one month, but the high moisturizing sample is not enough.
Moisturizer, shower gel and shampoo are all used up, so you can buy them directly in convenience stores or supermarkets, which is very convenient. But recently? Are you going to bottle it separately for permanent use? Common toiletries.
Mijia's razor is really mini and doesn't take up space at all. Like the electric toothbrush, it is a C charging interface.
The transportation company to the railway station chooses, I like to use Didi, it is convenient and quick to call a car, and there is no feeling of paying.
But it is a disaster to take a taxi outside the railway station. The small station is strange, and the big station has nine bends and eighteen bends, so it is difficult to find the boarding point. "The first time I went to Shenzhen North Railway Station, I took a taxi and couldn't find the pick-up point that the driver said, which made the driver's master thirsty; Finally cancel the order to take a taxi "; It is best to take a taxi in the taxi pick-up area according to the stop sign.
The trouble is that I always forget to take the receipt when I take a taxi.
Cars/high-speed trains/planes? The transportation in the city depends on taxis, so the order of transportation between cities is: high-speed rail-plane-car.
The base coordinates are located in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, a city in the central and eastern part of China. There are two railway stations, both connected to the high-speed rail-Jiujiang Railway Station and Lushan Station; There are also bus stations and Lushan airport. Lushan airport is in a state of no flight all the year round, so you can only choose Nanchang Changbei airport for plane travel.
The company's business is mostly distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Wuhan, Hubei, Shenyang and other places in the northeast. So my travel radius is from Guangdong and Guangxi in the south to Shenyang in the northeast, and the nearest places are Nanchang and Wuhan.

High-speed rail is the best choice
I grew up carsick, but when I grew up, I found a job that used to travel by bus.
It was the high-speed rail that cured me. It doesn't have the stop-and-go of cars and the strange smell of green leather cars. From then on, the journey is no longer afraid. China is prosperous, and the total mileage of high-speed rail construction has accounted for two-thirds of the world. High-speed rail can meet more than 90% of my travel needs.
How to buy the right train? Perfect solution of two apps: Gaotietong+Ctrip
For example: Ruijin-Shaoguan
As can be seen from the national high-speed rail route map of high-speed rail, there are only two routes to choose from between Ruijin and Shaoguan, either from Changsha South in the north or Shenzhen North in the south.
Taking the opportunity of writing this article, I tested the ride schemes of four platforms, and the best scheme was provided by Ctrip. It took 6 hours and 39 minutes to transfer from Changsha South.
At the same time, there are also unexpected findings that Tongcheng is the only platform that supports the "three-way train" scheme.
First, determine the basic routes and stations to be selected through the high-speed rail link, and then query the appropriate trains through Ctrip. Of course, in the case of large branches, Ctrip can be solved.
After comprehensive use, the best experience is "Ctrip".
In terms of just-needed, the transit scheme provided by Ctrip is more comprehensive. Once, I bought a ticket from Jiujiang to Hefei, and I changed trains from Wuhan before Wuyuan Station opened. After the opening of Wuyuan Station, Ctrip quickly provided a transfer plan for Wuyuan. On other platforms, there is no Wuyuan transfer plan. I have been using Ctrip since then.
In terms of integrating into the workflow, Ctrip will generate a travel display page after purchasing the air ticket, which will display all the travel information very intuitively. Among them, the small function of "Add to Calendar" opens the process of inputting travel information into the check list with one key.
"Ctrip"-"Checklist"
The length of the ride is the decisive factor in my choice of high-speed rail. If the high-speed rail can arrive within 7 hours, choose the high-speed rail; If it takes more than 7 hours, choose the plane.
Why seven hours? First, it takes me about 1.5 hours from Jiujiang to Nanchang airport, from preparation to arrival at the airport; Second, it is generally necessary to arrive at the airport 1-2 hours in advance; Third, after arriving at the destination, it generally takes 1-3 hours from the airport to the final destination; Fourth, it usually takes 1-3 hours to take off from Nanchang, whether going south or north. Therefore, the comprehensive duration of a flight is between 4.5 and 9.5 hours, and the median is 7 hours.
High-speed rail traffic tips Nanchang West Station
Luggage+backpack is the standard for my business trip. It is so easy to push the backpack onto the suitcase. Most of high-speed railway station is equipped with complete escalators and straight ladders; Look at the sign to avoid taking the stairs with your hand luggage. Before arriving at the platform through the escalator, take out your mobile phone again to confirm your train number and seat number. After confirming the seat number of the train, you can see that there is a big screen at the exit of the escalator, which shows the information of the number of trains and carriages of this station. After the inspection, find your corresponding car. After finding the carriage, don't jump the queue in a hurry; Look at the seat number through the window and decide which door is closer to your seat number. For example, I bought 1 F, and when I go to the wrong door, I have to push my way through the crowd to get to my position. Sometimes I get crazy when big luggage occupies the aisle. If the seat information of the ticket is inconsistent with the actual situation, for example, the seat of the purchased ticket is 10 car 02 F, but the train actually has only 1-8 car; Don't panic. After getting on the eighth car, consult the flight attendant and you will be informed of the changed seat information, which is basically in the eighth car. I don't know what caused it. Buy travel accident insurance. The plane is the last resort? If the distance is not too far, the high-speed rail takes too long, and you really don't want to fly, the experience of economy class is really terrible:
The seat spacing is far less spacious than the high-speed rail. If it is a low-cost airline, such as Spring Airlines, it is even more simple; About half an hour before take-off and landing, you can't use a small bedplate or wear headphones, and the seat back should be reset; The security check is too strict, and all liquids can't be brought in, wasting a lot of water and milk; Mac can't be checked in the trunk, which doubles the weight of my backpack; Tinnitus caused by high altitude air pressure change; Airports are basically built in the suburbs, and it is a long way to go and walk; Every time I eat on the plane, I have the illusion of eating. I arrange meals and recycle garbage in a unified way, much like cute animals in captivity. Cars have never been an option. Today, I still haven't got out of the shadow of long-distance bus carsickness. When I was a child, traveling with my parents and taking a long-distance bus every time was a kind of torture. I was full of energy before getting on the bus and turned white after getting off. I must have a bag of vomit in my hand.
Taking a bus is the shadow of childhood.
Waiting Time is the most ruthless killer in the world-Sanmao.
Waiting for security, waiting for the station, waiting for the station, waiting for the taxi, waiting for the court session, etc. ...
The "before" that fails to reach the goal is "waiting".
The waiting time ranges from several hours to several minutes. The accumulation of years is a huge wealth of time. In order to make effective use of it, I mainly do these things in different scenarios according to different durations.
Specific scenes on the road, such as stations, airports and public transport.
The waiting time at stations and airports is generally between half an hour and one hour, so it is not appropriate to do more immersive things, such as watching movies; Suitable for listening to podcasts, getting columns and other audio columns with noise-reducing headphones.
Small universe is very comfortable to listen to podcasts. No ads, just like a native application. The podcasts I often listen to are: One School Podcast, Story FM, Jokes Coming, Comedians Chatting, Liang Wendao Eight Points, and Limited Culture.
On the train, the waiting time is much longer, between one hour and twelve hours, which is especially suitable? Watch a movie.
Watching movies takes up most of the journey. Since I started my business trip, thousands of "seen" movies have been marked on Douban. You can watch two or three movies for six or seven hours by bus at a time.
For me, movies, like books, are one of the efficient ways to understand the world.
Why not read in the car? Because you will get carsick.
On expressway? From the station to the project department, or from the project department to the station, the project department will arrange a shuttle bus to take the expressway farther away. ? The riding environment of the car is different from that of the high-speed rail, right? Small countertop, unable to place the mobile phone fixedly; The speed is also fast and slow, which is not suitable for watching movies.
In this state, I mainly do three things:
Call your parents? Report peace and let them know the city where I am today; Chat with the driver to relieve boredom for the driver's master and avoid fatigue driving; Listen to audio programs, such as podcasts. Late at night of 65438+2009, a high-speed entrance in Guangdong.
In the hotel, I spend most of my time at home except for work. I like sitting at my desk? The state of thinking in front of the computer, so whether there is a big enough desk in the room is very important to me.
Besides, the heating/cooling effect of the air conditioner, whether the hot water is hot enough in winter and whether there is a self-service laundry room also affect me. Key factors in choosing a hotel. ? It's the bedding that doesn't suit me? Especially important. The specific choice will be mentioned later.
I have done many things in the hotel: watching movies, singing, working overtime, exercising, taking selfies and having fun around. ...
If you don't find something to do, loneliness will flood into the room.
A homestay in Shenzhen
work overtime
Waiting for the meeting to end, whether in the office or under the project, sometimes I have to attend some meetings; I know everything about meetings within the system.
When I was told that I had a meeting, I took my Mac to find something else.
Of course, the premise is to clarify the role of your department in this meeting. If it's just an endorsement role, it's basically on standby after expressing its views.
For example, if the construction team is arguing about the changes outside the contract, people obviously don't come to you to talk about the law, and other departments also think it is impossible to solve the problem in full accordance with laws and regulations, then I don't need to waste my breath.
Shao Xin expressway project
Choosing a hotel I have gone through three stages.
The first stage: I just started working, and the places I went to are all new, so I naturally have to live near the scenic spots! A person in a tall building can see the end of the world.
Stage 2: I am gradually numb to business trips, and the moon is everywhere. Either live near the station or live near the office, no matter how convenient. I don't regret widening my belt. Work makes me haggard.
Stage 3: Looking back suddenly, it is most important to live comfortably.
The choice of the first two stages is to directly search for hotels near the destination through the map of Gaode.
In the third stage, choose these hotels directly and purposefully: Atour Hotel, All Seasons Hotel, Mo Lifeng Hotel, City Easy ... Travel by taxi.
The cost of Atour Hotel is slightly higher than the reimbursement standard, but if there is Atour in the city where I am on a business trip, I would rather subsidize myself to stay. Atour's service is extremely caring. After the reimbursement standard of 202 1 is improved, you can choose Atour happily.
If you order takeout, someone will help deliver it to your room. If it is self-laundry, as long as you put the clothes in the washing machine and fill out a small note, there will be a special person to help dry them and fold the dried clothes neatly and send them to the room. These two are "irresistible temptations" for me who stay in hotels on long-term business trips.
Atour also provides APLUS services at prices ranging from 3 yuan to 12 yuan. I often buy services such as "lingering sound", "Bluetooth speaker", "one room fragrance" and "sandalwood dripping lavender essential oil". I can always use each model from 9 yuan and can't take it away.

All Seasons Hotel All Seasons Hotel is a tea-themed hotel with a simple and elegant overall style.
There is a self-service laundry room and a gym. A few hotels that opened earlier have no laundry room or gym, so they need to call before checking in.
For example, I recently went on a business trip in Shenzhen and started to stay at the Atour Hotel. Later, I wanted to move to the All Seasons Hotel near Shenzhen Library. However, it is not ideal after the field trip. It is very important that there is no gym. Secondly, I also found that the hotel building is used as an office building, and there are not enough elevators. However, the hotel I stayed in is a single-family building with four elevators, and I have never encountered the situation of waiting for the elevator.
There is a small detail at the front desk of the all-season hotel, which puts a transparent protective cover on the ID card of every check-in customer.
I vomited for a season. Hair dryer. The latest configuration is a touch hair dryer. The touch module is on the handle, and the handle is designed with water chestnut, which is very uncomfortable to hold and often breaks.
202 1 February 14, roses from the hotel upon check-in.
Mo Lifeng Hotel Mo Lifeng Hotel has a lavender theme and smells of lavender everywhere.
There is a self-service laundry room and a gym.
Compared with the first two hotels, Mo Lifeng is more intelligent. The room is equipped with electric curtains, Bluetooth speaker and air purifier.
It is difficult to enter the word "Li", but it is feasible to search for "Mo Lifeng Hotel" on the map.
Small and medium-sized cities in southern cities are easy to cover and have self-service laundry rooms. In the absence of any of the above hotels, it is preferred.
As can be seen from the above, I have two hard conditions for choosing a hotel: a self-service laundry room and a gym.
I can tolerate no gym, but I can't tolerate no laundry room, which is my last bottom line; How can you spend time washing clothes by hand?
Don't put anything under the tip bed, especially small things, or you will often fall off when you leave. If you lose it, you can contact the hotel for help and express it to your door. When you check in, you can also get an electric card in addition to your room card, which will be much more convenient. If the water in the room is finished, you can ask the front desk to deliver it for free. Booking through official channels is more favorable and can save some good things. The average price of Atour fluctuates between 300-500, that of Mo Lifeng fluctuates between 200-400, and that of the city fluctuates between 100-300. The earlier you book, the longer you stay and the lower the price. In terms of articles, I use a 20-inch boarding box and a backpack to carry as simple articles as possible, but at the same time, I can ensure the comfort of travel. On the way, I mainly pass the time by watching movies and listening to podcasts. In terms of travel, high-speed rail takes precedence over airplanes and tries to avoid car travel. As for hotels, there are self-service laundry rooms and gymnasiums. Atour, All Seasons and Mo Lifeng are preferred. The above three points are managed in a unified way by checking the list.
