Getting the media into my head.

I only listen to one podcast at the moment and working through their back catalogue takes some time (I’m currently at the end of 2006 to give you an idea). Each of their episodes is around 1 hour long and the journey to work takes about 25 minutes so I am grinding my way through them at around one episode per work day. It’ll take me the next two months just to get to 2008 on their list. Seems daunting.

I mostly listen while driving as it has the right amount of ‘automatic behaviours’ so that my mind can listen to what is being said. I find that when I’m in the office I can only really listen to music in the background and not podcasts otherwise I can’t take anything in. Perhaps this is the problem men have with multi-tasking hitting me after all – and I thought I was immune 🙂

I also can’t listen when I’m at home due to distractions, family wanting to talk to me and the desire to do something more constructive with my time – like write or pore over these programming books until something sticks in my head.

I’m not sure I have there bandwidth to take anything new on.
