I don't know about you...but I've been in big self-improvement kick during this pandemic-palooza. When the workday is done, and I can't really go hang out with anyone, I'll go on a walk. Late night walks are the best! I bring headphones and an audiobook. Here's the only problem with self-improvement books: I keep thinking, "ooohhh! Interesting. I better write that down!" Not really all that possible when you're on a walk. I was listening to Atomic Habits, and there were SO MANY ideas, but I was walking...and stopping, whipping out my phone, writing a note, putting the phone away....and then beginning the walk again isn't practical. At that pace, I would have been the first and only person to set a 94-minute mile.
So, here's the lifehack I use: keep Audible open on the phone, and use screen capture when the author shares something interest. After the walk I can open up Google Photos and review my new collection of interesting/noteworthy ways-to-make-myself better all conveniently timestamped and organized for me. Now, sitting at the computer I can jump to those specific moments in the Audible app, and write down the note.
Huge time saver! I hope it help you too! Any tricks you've begun using during the partial-ish lockdown?
Oh! And here are some books that I really recommend. While I don't agree with everything in them, they stretched my brain and made me think. Anything you're reading/listening to?
Atomic Habits by Jame Clear
4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss
The Icarus Deception by Seth Godin
The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey
Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland
Guts by Kristen Johnston
