Along with returning to writing, I'm trying to use time as efficiently as possible. I realize that when I first get up in the morning, I have about 15 to 30 minutes of time that I am doing but routine busywork. So why not make that routine work for something other than being busy?
My morning now start with a short-list of selected podcasts that I can listen to while I go about getting out the door. Self-improvement, mindfulness, health, and happiness stuff. This allows me to use the time to get short bits of inspiration, reflection, and motivation. Once in my car and heading into the office I launch into podcasts targeting leadership, management, motivation, process improvements. Stuff related to my work. The last time slot is for my drive home. Being a good parent, a good individual, maybe some further health related things to keep me inspired to walk and eat right.
I don't believe that I'm going to listen to every-single-one ,every single day. I may try to just hit 2 out of 3 each day. Sometimes my drive time gets spent on the phone or dictating a new post…, such as this one :-).
