@tg Ohhh this is a tough one! I take notes when I need to remember something, but mainly I use podcasts to fill the time. This is why I have a list of hundreds of podcast episodes to listen to when i can actually pay attention saved, 'for later'
@davebauerart hundreds? Ow!
@tg I may have exaggerated but its ok, all the unlistened podcasts are hanging out with the open browser tabs and unread books in my office.
