You drive a car? Be multi lingual

[Plato]

If you spend more than an hour a day driving, like me, it's a great opportunity to listen to educational CDs. I've just start learning Spanish and I can see over 6 months I'm probably going to be pretty darned good.

I'm noticing more and more the ways I can get more things done just in the times I normally spend waiting around. In boring lectures I can write essays, practice thinking of funny jokes, or read a book.

I don't seem to like filling my "down time" with productive stuff, but filling the unavoidable hours with something productive seems to satisfy me.
