ESCAPE THE DAILY GRIND

Lucky enough to have a few days off? Here are five ways to better use that time you usually spend commuting

1 reMarkable

If you harbour dreams of penning a book but prefer the idea of writing notes and chapters by hand, this 10.3-inch digital notepad provides unlimited ‘pages’ for you to do so. And if you need to create something more formal to share with test readers or a literary agent (gulp!), the reMarkable converts your handwritten work into typed text, ready to edit and email.

£449, remarkable.com

2 Gillette Heated Razor

Escaping the daily grind should leave you with more time to pamper yourself, and Gillette’s Heated Razor is ideal for luxury grooming at home. Using a revolutionary warming bar, the razor delivers the comfort of a hot towel shave. It’s waterproof, too, so you don’t have to worry if you accidentally drop it in the sink or bath.

3 Muse 2: Brain Sensing Headband

Learning how to meditate pays dividends in all areas of your life, as it calms your mind and boosts your overall wellbeing. Using more sensors than its predecessor, the Muse 2 teaches you how to meditate in short, guided bursts, and keeps tabs on your brain activity, breathing and posture while you do so.

4 Garmin Forerunner 935

You could lie-in on your day off, or you could use that time to elevate your fitness with an energising morning run or workout. Garmin’s multi-sport GPS watch will help you do so, providing detailed tracking of swimming, cycling and running. It’ll recommend how long your recovery should be based on your workout results, and help you set new fitness goals. £389, buy.garmin.com
