Ramadan is a special month that many Muslims around the world look forward to. It also means a different daily schedule to the rest of the year. Early morning Suhur meal to start the day at one end and voluntary night prayers at the other.
We know many of you observe fasting and as time passes, you’ll be facing different challenges in Ramadan. We hope the following guide provides some useful tips to help stay safe and thrive during this month
Week one
The first week is the toughest as you start adapting into your new routine. Take more and longer breaks than you normally would and kill the time with something that requires less concentration.
Check out the shopping and delivery apps you can use to supplement your rideshare income. Onboarding takes a couple of weeks in some cases, which is perfect: you’ll be accustomed to your new routine by the time you get started, making it easier to take on a new challenge.
Week two
This is a good time to reflect on how you’ve been doing during your first week and adapt your routine wherever you feel it’s necessary. If you think you could use some feedback or just confirm your driving strategy, call your Customer Specialist – it’s their job to make sure you’re successful on the road.
Each of us adapts differently to change, if you’re still struggling to focus, take it easy and make sure you get enough sleep.
Week three
By the third week of Ramadan, you’ll have set yourself into a good rhythm, and you’ll have been approved for all the delivery apps you’d signed up to. Since you probably won’t be as exhausted as during the first two weeks, you may feel like driving to the CBD for lunchtime deliveries.
Find hotspots in your city and target the areas with lots of restaurants. Driving around breakfast, lunch, and dinner time is a clever move to make the best use of your active hours.
Week four
By this time, you could start experimenting with night shifts to help prepare for the Eid festivities. This would mean you’ll rely almost exclusively on ridesharing again, so make sure you have all the tools you need to maximise your income. Check out some of the most popular rideshare apps below and sign up quick to get approved by the last week of Ramadan:
However, this exciting period, full of anticipation, presents some risks for motorists and pedestrians alike. People are often in a hurry, especially before the Maghrib prayers and Iftar. Be mindful of this and take extra care when driving in Muslim neighbourhoods.
From all of us at Splend, we wish you and your family Ramadan Mubarak.
