I Cleared Another Path
I went out on a limb this morning and pruned about 80% of the podcasts from my library. I want, so much, to listen to so many interesting and fascinating things. The options are as vast and available as “how to” videos are on YouTube. But I am overwhelmed by all the choices and recommendations I have. With a full time job, kids to be present for and engaged with, routine errands and key needs to put my time into meditation or reading and writing . . . these 25+ daily 1hr-long listening options just don’t have a chance. So they’ve been weeded out. Cut. Bagged. Mulched. My podcast library is the latest casualty in my reclamation of my limited time, and it's best use. Buh-bye Techno-talk, cinematic trivia, wait wait don’t tell me and a dozen or more others that I keep thinking I’ll eventually get around to. Because I simply won’t. Sure, I'll listen to "Rock Tale Hour", "TWiT" other any tangential interests as desired, but my 'feeds' are now tightly focused on those things that improve my outlook, my professional skills, my parenting and my overall happiness.
