Each day I spent around 1-2 hours on the road, a royal waste of time. Usually I would use this time to catch up on some people I have to phone or things that I needed to sort out during the day, quickly phoning the relevant people.
About 5 weeks ago, I discovered the magic of Audiobooks whilst driving to work with an old friend as my car was in for a service, and she was busy with an audio book in the car. So, that same evening I went onto Amazon, and ordered myself my own audio book.
So after I got my new book, I started “reading” it in the car. Being that my first book was Warren Buffetts’The Snowball
Right after experiencing “the Buffett”, I decided to read a light technical book, and found Linus Torvalds’ Just for Fun
audio book, which was a nice “read” and very light and humaristic and not so intense, a nice breather before my next book … which I’m still deciding on what to get.
While I’m still searching for the next book, I’m now using the time in the car, to listen to some podcasts I’m always downloading but never listening to.
The fact that I was now able to fill 2 hours of my day “reading” the books I’ve always wanted to read but never got the time for, was just another productivity booster for myself. I love reading biography and entrepreneurial mindset books, and this first book from Buffett just make one wanna go out and start doing something.
