If you really want to know what's going on in this country heading into the 2024 election, you have to get away from the extremes and listen to the middle.

Hi, Jan, here in Kansas City, Missouri.

On the podcast The Middle with Jeremy Hobson, I'll take calls live every week elevating the voices of Americans who are so important when it comes to who's in power and what gets done

My name is Wengk and I'm calling you from Atlanta, Georgia

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is to not make life a chore.

I get that there are lots of chores we have to do in our lives.

But there is no value in making chores

out of activities we would cheerfully do anyway, even if they weren't on our task lists.

We can keep these activities completely separate from our to-do lists if we'd like.

So lots of productive people and I am guessing that this includes most before breakfast

listeners love planning what they'll do when and tracking their

accomplishments. This can be great for getting a lot done efficiently. I love

prioritized task lists and done lists or what Gretchen Rubin calls tada lists to note our

accomplishments. There can be a downside of tracking your to-do's though.

Sometimes you can end up feeling like all you do is work, whether on professional tasks or personal ones.

If that sounds familiar, consider whether you are making life a chore.
