Two-for-One Deal

Author: Jennifer, 12 8th, 2007

With a busy schedule - especially during holiday season - I sometimes find it challenging to fit all of my to-do items into a given day or even week. Learn Italian, still on the list. Catch up on my fiction novels, still there. How can I keep up with my schedule without getting further and further behind on my to-do list?

 

Solution: My new favorite trick - Grab iPod and stock up on news clips, language learning programs, novels and more.

 

How it Works: For example, download the day’s news onto your iPod so you can keep current while getting in a workout at the gym. Or, download Italian lessons for on-the-go learning while walking to pick up lunch. Or even, download audio books to listen to while stuck in commuter traffic (definitely a life saver if you live in Los Angeles, like I do, where heavy traffic is almost a given).
