10 Ways My Ipod is Now Important in My Life!

by Anna Farmery

It is coming up to 2 years since I had an iPod bought for me - a gift that changed my life literally. I had no idea at the time what a podcast was, and I had no technical background. Within 2 years, the majority of my time and the majority of my income is generated via social media….what a whirlwind two years. Now the iPod is part of my life, part of my everyday living.

1) I use it as a hard drive to carry a back up presentation to clients. I would be carrying it anyway for entertainment so it means there is nothing extra I have to remember to put in my briefcase.
2) I use it as my photo album, before I never could find the photo’s I was looking for…now the memories are with me all the time.
3) It is my learning and development tool - I don’t attend courses, I listen to podcasts on all sorts of areas to develop my skills…expand my learning…
4) I use it as my library….I only listen to audiobooks.
5) I now do 40 minutes exercise each day without getting bored…why? because I am entertained and engaged during that exercise either with a podcast, an audiobook or a video.
6) I use it as my address book for when I am offline…I don’t have a pda, so I carry my mobile and my ipod.
7) I wake up every morning to my iHome. I have over 10,000 songs on it and always play them on shuffle so that I never know what is coming next.
8) I use it as a child occupier when out with friends! I have downloaded a few cartoon, and short films….wonderful to help entertain a bored child when you are out for tea!
9) I use it to record when I am out and about…normally I use a micro audiotrack but if I find myself without it..I use my iPod.
10) …..Great for plugging into your ears when you don’t want to speak to people on the train etc……:)
