how to use work to awaken

[Illusory Self]

I work at a minimum wage job on the till at a supermarket for 12 hours a week. Incredibily monotonous job. 

How shall I make the most use out of these 12 hours per week, I think it could be used for self inquiry possibly.

What techniques shall I try?

I'm in a similar spot, but at least I can listen to music/podcasts and I don't have to interact with people all that much so I'm completely alone with my thoughts.

I could actually be incredibly productive with my mind but I've just been listening to podcasts lol
