I’ve been making an effort to use my downtime and listening to podcasts to disconnect from work. I went through a period of time where I thought I should optimize every minute of the day towards business-oriented efforts, and I found myself dreading podcasts. At this point I’m taking any and all non-business suggestions from friends and listening to them as a way to unwind.
Pro
Oh man is this a good point. I completely relate to this because I have to be more mindful of making time to separate from work. It’s hard cause I try to maximize each minute and that doesn’t work. Started having health issues from the stress.
Mine are more pop-culture focused. I feel like pop-culture is often overlooked by marketing execs.
Depends on the product/industry obviously, but for B2C campaigns with broad reach in North America, it’s useful to keep a pulse on trends. Especially for high budget campaigns that feature celebrities or are social media-driven.
