ABC NewsRadio/BBC World Radio - listening to the natural flows and rhythms of an emotionless news broadcast are very relaxing. A smart phone can pick up almost any radio station in the world and there are new Do Not Disturb settings which mean that you can opt out of everything but emergency phone calls. Been doing it for 10+ years.


Steal These Habits For A Good Night's Sleep

I live in a tiny apartment - maybe 60 metres square but about 15 of that is made up of unsheltered balconies - so my storage space is limited. The first lesson I learned, I learned from Oprah - every object has a home. Once I've worked out the best practical place for something it's easy and quick to clean up. The other lesson I'm 'teaching' myself at the moment is that as much as I love my records, CDs, DVDs and books, if I'm not going to use them again, they have to go. It's been heartbreaking. I'm giving a lot of things away to friends and my sister is very kindly letting me store a couple of thousand CDs in the garage of her much larger house. Going through it has been cathartic, but in the long run, it's better for the apartment and it's better for me.
