With his too cool for school tool
One of the huge issues we all face . . . is time, and how there never seems to be enough of it. Just this morning, I was talking to a colleague who asked, “How do all these people find time to work with clients AND market their business?”
Well, I have stumbled on a new resource that allows you to make use of down time – driving, commuting, working out, taking walks– to catch up on your reading.
Say what?
Especially if you are an auditory learner, you won’t want to miss this.
Its an entire suite of apps that converts stuff you gotta read – email, word documents, even RSS feeds – into mp3 files you can listen to on your iPod, PDA, Phone or any mp3 player.
And you can find them here.
If you have ever wondered, “If only I could leverage my commute / drive / workout time to boost my business!” this might be for you.
A couple important points:
- This works best for auditory learners – someone who learns easily from recorded teleseminars, podcasts and educational CDs. (You know who you are!)
- While the voice inflection provided by these apps is much improved, its still a tad bit mechanical. However, it might be well worth it if it helps you save a couple hours a week.
- You do have to be technical enough to run the software and then transfer the audio files to your MP3 player, iPod or PDA. But this isn’t rocket science – most folks who already have MP3 players should be able to handle this without a hitch.
Check it out. It could be a terrific new timesaver to help you make the most of your prime productive time to PRODUCE rather than read email or surf blogs.
