Well certainly if we had universe time given to us we would go one by one. But which one, there are thousands of them. Other possibility is to listen to a TED talk. That makes you more creative by end of the day. This way you catch a fresh breeze from the authors who are respected from their fields, who studied the topic long hours and weeks before you and thus giving you new ideas and therefore you would enlighten yourself with the theme.
No, start with updating yourself with magazines or daily news where you know the editors know sh*t. Leave the National Geographic articles for later night reading (unless you are Jimmy Chin and you kind of need it for your job), focus on articles with value add which aren't really to be found in People magazine or commentaries by Kardashians. You got to be able to filter the news streams by know. So apart of taking a 'meditation class' during the traffic, apart from freeing your mind from all the thoughts and focusing on the path (which by now you did gazillion times) and apart from killing the time listening your favorite Led Zeppelin album what do you do? They stop for a moment and they are outdated, obsolete, having inaccurate information which means they are being replaced. Especially managers and leaders cannot afford that. So being wasteful puts you in position of being slow and inefficient. Unless you really want to and then I wonder why are you reading these few lines. And you can't afford to produce waste these days. What do people do during these times? Do they call a friend, do they chat, spend meaningless minutes or hours on social networks, do they meditate? What do you do?įirst of all, you need to kill the idle time. When you think you are moving slowly on the highway and your three lanes are like a turbo snail from some cartoon wait until you see the 6-pack full of lights, so bright your eyes are hurting, so slow that you think of Walking Dead might be actually faster than you.
Will you first check the LinkedIn because you feel smarter and 'managerial' or checkout the latest pics on the Instagram following the never-ending celebrity lives, perhaps some Tweets which were posted from other applications? What will you do to kill half hour or hour in the traffic?ĭuring the summer I visited the capital city of all traffic jammers, the city of Angels. Trying to listen to the stupid morning shows or same pop music song repeated 200 times already this week? Not an alternative.įor some lucky ones who are connected to the Internet (yes there are some worlds where this is not the case) you can grab a phone and connect the mind to the endless horizon of opportunities and challenges of social networks. Watching and staring on the wipers you move inch by inch. When it rains it multiplies threefold like the drivers have never seen the raining drops.
