Loving Audio Books

I’ve been listening to The Art of Exceptional Living. It’s not the first audio book I’ve listened too by any stretch of the imagination, and I have to admit, I thought about only doing “real” books for my PMBA, however, I’m loving the audio book idea.

Now I admit, I’ve listened to some lame audio books, but not all of them are, and The Art of Exceptional Living is a fairly easy listen. What’s nice, is that I get to kill two birds with one stone. I spend about 1.5 hours in the car each day, 5 days a week going to and from work. Some times I talk to my wife, sometimes I speak to a client of my freelance business, and some times I listen to the radio.

Well I thought if I could be more efficient with my time, less radio, more learning, I get a win win, and I did.  I figure since I am driving, and I need to pay attention to the road – I ought to listen to serious books at least twice – so that’s what I’m doing.

The Art of Exceptional Living – It Arrived

My second “book” The Art of Exceptional Living, arrived just now. I say “book” because it is actually an audio book.  So why get a book on tape or CD.

I was thinking about the way I spend time, and how I can be more effective (see my previous posts about The Effective Executive). I spend 35-45 minutes each way, each day, headed to work. I figured that if I could get some of that time to be productive with my Personal MBA “reading” I can kill two birds with one stone as they say.

So I think I will be getting the audio book any time I can, so I can be more efficient, and make sure that I get through as many texts as I need to, to keep my schedule.
