I am back from a blissful couple of days in the depths of the countryside where we ate, talked, watched cheesy movies, went for walks and ate some more…
In other words, a typical Christmas!
One thing I deeply appreciated was the silence after the constant hubbub of London. It made it so much easier to focus on just one thing at a time.
If you can, I heartily recommend putting on some headphones and applying that same kind of focus to my suggestions for you today.
If it’s a podcast, you’ll take in so much more and if it’s something to read then some appropriate music or even white noise will shut out distractions so, again, you really benefit from the wisdom therein.
And my first suggestion is a podcast – one that I think you will find especially useful as we close the door on the old year and head into the new. This comes courtesy of the irrepressible Tim Ferris and is all about Becoming The Best Version of You:
