I picked his interview because I had seen him speak at the Inman connect conference San Francisco. Smart guy. Super well spoken. I couldn\u2019t believe I had never heard of him before last month though, apparently, thousands have. Over 23,000 follow him on <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/BHGrealestate\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">. OK, make that plus 1. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">Last summer Mann gave a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.43folders.com\/2007\/07\/25\/merlins-inbox-zero-talk\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">\u201cGoogle Talk\u201d Video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\"> on his concept of applying one of five verbs to any email that comes in. According to Mann, when you are \u201cprocessing\u201d email you should: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">1.) Delete <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">2.) Delegate <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">3.)

The tough part is choosing what to spend your time on. What I find especially helpful in the selection process is the \u201cdescription\u201d field on <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itunes.com\/\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">iTunes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\"> that allows me to see the actual topics discussed in a given podcast episode before downloading. In the case of \u201cThe Real Deal,\u201d you can scroll to see which particular technology you are interested in learning more about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 10pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;font-family:\">Making these podcast listening sessions work for my commute is my <a title=\"Griffin\" href=\"http:\/\/www.griffintechnology.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Griffin iTrip adapter<\/a> that transmits the iPod signal to my car stereo while also keeping the iPod charged. This gizmo turns my car into a literal library (and concert hall) on wheels. If you\u2019re spending time in the car and are looking for that productivity boost, I highly recommend downloading a podcast for the road. You\u2019ll get to where you\u2019re going \u201cfaster\u201d and get there a little more enlightened on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posted by Kevin Doell Podcasts are the silver lining of my 35-mile commute.
