As part of the ANZ Bank's [Febusave campaign](http://www.febusave.com/?ref=katecarruthers.com) I've been following up on my [pledge](http://www.febusave.com/famous.php?ref=katecarruthers.com) to catch public transport as much as possible during February, especially for the commute to the office.

I'm finding the daily train trip gives me a few unexpected benefits in addition to saving money:

- more time to work on projects rather than concentrating on driving in the crazy Sydney traffic
- more thinking time so I can hit the ground running when I arrive at the office
- uninterrupted time to plan my day
- on the way home the I have time to disconnect my mind from work before arriving home

Also participating in [Febusave](http://www.febusave.com/?ref=katecarruthers.com) has made me conscious of spending choices, and is making me question if I do really need to buy certain things.

Why not sign up too? You can do it [here](http://www.febusave.com/index.php?ref=katecarruthers.com) (and you might even win a $5,000 prize).
