Morning reading at the gym..

by Joe Motion
12 replies
Hey,

I always find I'm most productive when I wake up early, have a little fruit juice and then hit the gym...

First thing I do is get on the cycling machine and read through emails.. I'm just wondering if there's any websites that will send me a morning email with lots of IM related news that I can read through...

Any ideas?

      This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but Google will send you information by email on any subject just by setting up Google Alerts.

      In my email I have 949 alerts to read right now. So they send plenty of stuff.

      You can get more information at this link.

    Why don't you get an account with Audiable.com and listen to proper business books.

    I'm looking for professionally written articles or news stories though on the latest events - not questions on 'how to' for example. I only have an hour each morning in the gym and want to use it wisely if that makes sense.

    Again, this doesn't condense everything very well.

    I've got tons of interviews to go through from Mixergy - I've tried audio and for some reason I just can't get used to it.

    One service I am using is BlogTrottr which lets you enter an RSS feed and your email, and then sends the latest RSS update when it arrived.

    I'd love a morning update of whats going on in the tech world... maybe someone should work on this!

    I just use the free Google reader to sign up for all my favorite blogs. When there's a new post it will automatically come there.

    You should also sign up for podcasts. You can get them for free on iTunes.

      I'll check this - I assume it has mobile support. I'm on the cycling machine at the gym with my iPhone..

      I find running and cycling on the spot boring. I'd love to run or cycle somewhere but the roads here in SE Asia are damn dangerous!

        I am a morning person myself and my most productive very early in the morning. I would suggest simply reading this forum each morning. There is so much here to learn.

          There are some good marketers on itunes. Look out and sign up for some free podcasts and put them on your player. I train every morning in the gym too. But when I come to my desk that is for work not distractions.

          956 google alerts blimey couldn't cope with that. Target what your interested in and then as I said pop on your player and you have a good hour of marketing bumble.

          I've been a member here for a while - I'm pretty clued up on the content. I want fresh news from well known and respected marketers. One guy who brightens my mornings up is Seth Godin - his posts come almost daily and really gets my mind going - check him out! Another problem with forums is the amount of newbie questions - and it isn't exactly mobile friendly.

          Forums are for discussion, problem solving and procrastination imo
