Productivity blog Lifehack offers this piece on How to Find Time for Yourself. It’s a comprehensive list of things we should be doing for ourselves and how to make the time for them. One of my favorites:
Driving in Your Car. Make the most of this time. Vary how you spend that time. If you always listen to music, perhaps also try: educational radio (NPR), positive audio tapes (suggestion: “Follow Your Heart” by Andrew Matthews) or even totally quiet time. Use that quiet time for brain storming. Either think in your head or even talk your ideas out loud. Bring a voice recorder. You could write a book via voice recorder over time.
If you have an iPod, buy a cassette adapter or FM transmitter for your car and listen to some of the wealth of excellent podcasts out there. There are a ton more — and better quality, too — than there were only a year or so ago. Listen, learn, laugh. A good place to browse is Podcast Alley.
The Lifehack post is also a timely reminder that we have just enough time for the things that are important to us.
