Reading rocks. For sure. Every notable person everywhere reads and recommends reading. It is as they say, 'a no brainer'.
And we get that. We're readers too.
But we're also the first to admit that juggling solo careers, families, friends, and at least some physical activity often results in reading a couple of pages in bed before falling deeply asleep with little to no chance to even dog-ear the page, let alone absorb what we've read and synthesize what we've learned in any meaningful way.
As the 'must read' books pile up and the to-do list is ever growing, it can feel like an exercise in futility just trying to finish a book. (Even worse it can trigger college-level guilt about not getting your homework done.)
Carving time to sit down and read can be a genuine challenge. And we just want to acknowledge that as a truth. Like doing your homework, eating healthy and keeping track of your money, it should be simple and we know it's the 'right' thing to do, but somehow it can be hard.
But fear not. Instead of staring down that disappointing stack of unread books, we suggest mixing it up a little by adding some listening into your day in order to weave some learning into the hustle and bustle of living.
One of the best ways to do this - podcasts. You can play them out while brushing your teeth, making the dinner, or making the beds. You can tune in while walking the dog, picking up the groceries, or on those long drives to your next meeting. They're great and provide a multitasking opportunity to listen and learn.
