Do you really...?

So, someone asked recently if I'd share a "slice of the life" of Jason. I thought I'd share a somewhat typical day.one that happened just last week:

4:30am (CDT) : up, shower, cab to New Orleans airport

7:00am-8:00am : fly to Dallas (slept most of the flight)

8:00am-9:15am : switched terminals, found lunch for the next flight (sandwich, salad, bottled water, muffin, banana, fruit cup)

9:15am-11:00am : fly to LAX (wrote thank you cards, got e-mail down to zero, processed in-box, completed expense reporting, read Newsweek and Scientific American Mind magazines, watched one of "The Great Courses" (from www.teach12.com ) on anatomy and physiology, worked on a client proposal)

11:00am-12:00pm (PDT) : landed safely, replicated e-mail, got luggage, called The Parking Spot, started the 2-hour drive home

12:00-2:00pm : drive up Highway 1 (one of my favorites!) to Ojai. Listened to Lou Tice (www.loutice.com ) on the way. Called several people on my calls list.

2:00pm-3:45pm : home to see Jodi and Zuma. Unpacked, started laundry, repacked for the next trip (in 36 hours!), walked around the garden and caught up on two days of stories.

4:00pm-5:30pm : went to the gym (spin class) did a little bit of stretching, and some weights

5:30pm-6:00pm : stopped at the store, picked up food for dinner, when home and started cooking

After that.it was dinner, some more conversation, some "show and tell" with pictures I took in New Orleans, a little bit of TV, and in bed by 10pm. (I knew we were getting up early the next morning for a 30-mile bike ride!)

That's a snapshot.I highly recommend, if you have not done it yet, that you bring a note card around with you one day and just "log it." I'm always surprised by how much I am engaged with on a daily basis!

Sharon,

I've listened to/watched TC videos for years. I first "discovered" them in about '98! The videos are "all right;" just imagine sitting back in a college classroom, watching someone talk about their subject, usually to a class of under-classmen!

I watch on my tv/pc. (I get the DVD's).

You listen to Teaching Company tapes/videos! What do you recommend? I've been an avid audio subscriber. What about videos? Do they deliver a different expererience? Are you watching on your PC or iPod?

Thanks!
