Disconnect and get connected

One of the daily practices that I have been following in my self development is listening to audios. I listen to audios on communicating, time management, goal setting, business development, and anything that I feel will make me more effective in life. the great thing about listen to audios is that I can do it when I'm exercising, washing dishes ,cleaning, folding clothes, cooking, driving, on the train, waiting, or walking from place to place. I am able to maximize my time by doing two things at once. 24 hours should be enough time in the day, sometimes it just seems not to be. the thing I started to notice was that while I was educating myself and maximizing my time, at times I was also using it as a way to tune out and disconnect. If I wasn't reading or on the phone, every time I was out and by myself, I would pop in the earphones. I look around, on the train, on the street, in waiting rooms and 955 of the people are reading, on the phone or have earphones in and there is nothing wrong with it. The thing is, I don't want to be in that 95%. My intention is to do extraordinary things and make a lasting impact on this planet. So, I have decided to disconnect. there is plenty of opportunities throughout the day when I am not around other people for me to listen, read and make phone calls, if I am managing my time effectively. When I am around other people, I am making it my mission to connect with them and impact them in a positive way.
