Been Meaning to Catch Up on Reading? Here’s How: | This article is about how to turn ldquo;down timerdquo; into ldquo;catch uprdquo; time by always having something to read - ALWAYS! Last week while waiting to be seen by my doctor, I had the unfortunate pleasure of witnessing a true A-hole in action. Anybody whorsquo;s ever been to a doctorrsquo;s office more than once knows the routine. Upon arriving you first check in with the receptionist. Then you fill out a million forms. Finally, you take a seat and wait for the nurse to call your name. Oh, and more often than not, the doctor will be running late. Well, all this just proved too much for Mr. A-hole. First he let out a very loud sigh that was immediately followed by an even lauder, ldquo;THIS IS RIDICULOUS!rdquo; Obviously, he was on a hunt for fellow mutineers to help him take over the lobby, and demand to be seen immediately. Thankfully, everyone chose to ignore him. Of course that only proved to aggravate him even further. He continued, ldquo;WHY DID I EVEN BOTHER MAKING AN APPOINTMENT!rdquo; Again, we all just ignored him. Just as he began his third tirade, the receptionist finally shut him up by explaining the doctor was running late, and assured him that this was not an elaborate conspiracy specifically designed to waste his time. I really donrsquo;t understand people like Mr. A-hole. Hey, I hate waiting just as much as anybody, but if the doctorrsquo;s running late, the doctorrsquo;s running late. You can chose to get upset about it, or you can plan ahead by brining something to read. As busy as I am, I actually enjoy having a few extra minutes for catch up reading. Whether a book, magazine, or your new cell phone instructions ndash; Itrsquo;s a good idea to ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO READ. Keep it in your car, purse, briefcase, backpack, or someplace else accessible. That way yoursquo;re always prepared to productively fill that otherwise wasted downtime. Oh, and I hope this goes without saying that reading while in a waiting room is always better than obnoxiously chatting on your mobile phone. That's what Ms. A-hole, the girl sitting next to me on the other side, was doing (No it wasn't Paris Hilton). But Irsquo;ll save that for another article. Bellow Irsquo;ve listed 3 golden opportunities for catching up on reading. As obvious as they might seem, there missed opportunities for a lot of people because they failed to plan ahead. So the next time you find yourself in one of these 3 situations make sure you have something to read: * Anytime yoursquo;re in a line: Grocery store, deli, bank, DMV, etc. * Anytime yoursquo;re in a waiting area: Restaurant, automobile service, jury duty, Doctor/Dental appointment, etc. *Anytime yoursquo;re going for a ride: Subway, cab, carpool, airplane, train, etc. What have I left out? Please share your favorite place for ldquo;catch uprdquo; reading in the comment section below.

Ticket Please | If it hasn't happened to you yet, then consider yourself overdue! Of course I'm talking about that "senior moment" that strikes young and old alike, especially after a long flight. | 12/5/07 | Free | View In iTunes |

Those Batchers! The Art of Getting More Done. | It's a proven fact, batchers get more done then non-batchers! So just what is a "batcher"? Ok it's just a fun word I use to refer to people who group (batch) similar activities together to be more efficient. It's like the art of killing two birds with one stone (Please note: No birds were harmed during the writing of this post!). Batching is mastering the art of killing 2 birds with 1 stone. | 10/30/07 | Free | View In iTunes |
