I lived 21 minutes from my office for ten years. Then we moved and I still lived 21 minutes away in the other direction. I listen to audiobooks in my vehicle all the time. It’s time that I’m alone, uninterrupted, where I can absorb the words of others.
Twenty-one minutes each way is 182 hours a year, or 4.55 solid 40 hours weeks a year. That’s a lot of inspiration, education and information on a wide array of subjects.
Do you think that would make a difference in your life?
Podcasts rule. Do it all the time. I’m at 30 minutes, so I look forward to a solid hour of “me” time daily.
Audio books were my salvation when I traveled throughout Florida, Georgia, and Alabama by car doing my job. (Director of Clinical services for a large nursing home chain.)
Sometimes when I reached my destination, I wanted to sit in the car and listen just a little bit longer if I was in the middle of a very interesting part. Sure made the trips more enjoyable.
The library was my main resource and I have friends who would trade.
Good idea!
