- Medium
- Dev.to
- DevRant
- Youtube
- Robert Martin
- GOTO Conferences
- Talks at Google
- Thoughtworks
- Ted Talks

Often along commute (good thing youtube and tedtalks android app have download and view offline).</p> <p>I also use them as background noise while waiting to fall asleep and while working (most people listen to music I guess, I’m a weird one). If you listen to them over and over long enough you will eventually understand it fully, this might be even better than just watching them in one sitting while doing nothing else.</p> <p>For my books, I don’t just buy them, I buy time for them too.
If I’m feeling very relaxed at home I will go out and look for a coffee shop to read for at least 30 minutess.
I have already associated home for sleep and I have associated coffee shops for productivity.
It is not about the fancy coffee, Its just about buying temporary time within the ambiance that they provide.</p> <p> </p>
