Reminded me of this post:

Which reminds me...
I need to keep leveraging my commute time. This is a great Zone. Goal: Decrease commercial radio and increase more quality music, audio books and reflective time.
Question for you...
What do you do during your commute time? I am looking for some fresh ideas and I am sure others would appreciate your ideas too.

A suggestion for your commute - podcasts. Store them on your iPod or iPhone, and play them through your car's stereo system.
I listen to the David Allen Company podcasts, as well as fun stuff like NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, and uplifting stuff like Sounds True's "Insights from the Edge", and Buddhist Geeks.
Sometimes I just turn off all sound and just relax....even some deep breathing. It can be a very calming experience.
I listen to podcasts that I sync during breakfast: morning prayer, radio vatican podcast, and a weekly debate I like from a foreign radio I can't reach in the country I live in. Good in car or in tram (metro is loud :-)).
But the most important is to have options: sometimes I'm bored and available for content, sometimes I can only stand being present here and now.
Thanks for you blog!
I'm into music. 3 options depending on mood:
1. Listen to something new and exciting that you've hunted down and want to check out (keep a list)
2. Listen to an old favourite to get you going or calm you down
3. Listen to Beethoven "The Well-Tempered Clavier" for when really angry and/or stressed!
As Dave Gerlits and dcjarvis mentioned, I listen to podcasts on a wide range of topics, including: technology of my field, productivity, and more broadly educational (in that order)
Thank you everyone, great ideas. I am a podcast fan too. Here are some of my favs for my 20 min. commute:
- GTD podcasts
- CBC Comedy Factory (love that Canadian humor!)
- iTunes celebrity playlist podcast (interesting favorites and insights from a wide variety of people)
- American Marketplace
- Fresh Air
- CBC Quirks and Quarks
And for long trips... Springsteen from A to Z!
