1. Listen to podcasts
The first way I thought about being more productive was to make myself a better person by listening to self-help items on the radio. I found that it was easier for me to find items that could educate me in a number of different areas. To load the podcasts onto my smartphone I use iTunes along with SyncTunes (the free version). I chose podcasts dealing with personal finance (Dave Ramsey and Money Girl), religion (Your Move), and psychology (The Savvy Physiologist).
