Following on from my last post on running, I thought I would share how I’ve been managing to accomplish another goal I have set for myself. A while back I wrote down all my goals and decided that now was the time to start working on some of the larger ones. If not now, when?
We are all busy people and often pushed for time so I began to think about the time that I do have and how best to utilise it. I realised that there is a lot of time in my life that exists during everyday tasks such as driving, cooking, cleaning, running etc. that is not being used effectively.
I have been listening to a lot of podcasts recently and have come to really enjoy them. There really is something for everyone and all for free! The ones I have been listening to are informative and educational. I started to catch up on my favourites while doing my everyday mundane tasks and do you know what? Those tasks became a lot more fun 🙂
A goal I have had for a while is to start learning Spanish. We travel to Spain each year to holiday there and it would be fantastic to learn enough of the language to get by and be understood. So, I decided to listen to a short podcast on each of my runs. Normally I would listen to music, which is great, but by listening to something educational it is helping to smash another of my goals. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before!
The podcast I am currently listening to is Coffee Break Spanish and it’s great. Just enough content in each session to give you some basics.
I’d really like to know if anyone else is using any other great resources or has any tips on language learning. Please comment below.
