Journal of today’s activities:

This morning I began my run at 5:00 am. I had to run early because Carole and I were scheduled to board a flight from Oakland to Seattle, which would require us to leave out home at 7:30. While running I listened to an audio book on my iPhone 4S. I purchase books through Audible, an Amazon company. Currently I’m listening to a book by Simon Sinek, a social anthropologist who writes about business productivity. During previous runs I’ve listened to books by Patrick Lencioni, John Maxwell, and other business consultants. I appreciate the Audible application because it features a button I can push to “bookmark” specific thoughts that the author expresses. Once I figure out how to retrieve the information that I’ve bookmarked, I’ll type notes that may help strengthen future leadership presentations I make.
