Ted Demopoulos writing at Biz Of Knowledge 
here at Know More Media challenges us with these questions -
- Is your car your mobile university?
- Do you learn something while taking the train the work?
It's All In The Mindset
Instead of dreading the hours spents on trains, planes and automobiles, Ted embraces the time to learn. He listens to podcasts and reads, reads, reads.
Having the approach that your car is a mobile university puts you in control. It's all in the mindset. It's the difference between resenting the time "wasted" and using it productively and from Ted's experience, enjoyably.
I love this approach. Of course, universities have down time too, so this mobile university also allows for time to relax and bad airport movies.
It even allows for your own version of karaoke as you drive along the highway belting out loud songs... maybe not in a taxi though.
- Do you use your travel time for work related tasks?
Work related podcasts and listening to audio books. My CD player has become another way to read. I can fit the CD's from an entire book into the carousel and it plays the book and doesn't miss a beat while I'm in the car. Then it picks back up right where I left off. No bookmark needed.
It's my mobile university, mobile reading for pleasure device, and of course, singing along with the music CDs or the radio. I also enjoy talk radio and get most of my news from NPR.
Now if we could transfer all that email easily onto iPod or CD for it to be read to us and then respond verbally to it while driving...
