...but I’m really going to try for next week. In my defense, I’m never more than 5 minutes late and I usually arrive at the same moment as someone else. But to sit down at my desk at 8:00 or a few minutes earlier is my goal. I’m devising new strategies to cut down wasted time in my morning routine. I’ll do some trial runs for the next two days and really shoot for it next week. I also just want to cross something (semi)easy off my list!
I listened to it while at work. I was working on a book on durum wheat for over a month, and Angels & Demons was a great way to get through the day. It transports you to that world and keeps you entertained, focused, and excited. I’m going to read the Da Vinci Code next. Might be harder than just listening to a book, but I think it’s worth a shot.
