Interview: Peter Shankman of HelpAReporter.com

I had an opportunity sit down and chat with Peter Shankman of Help a Reporter Out.  The audio is below, but here are the highlights:

• “I don’t have time” is really a myth, because we make time for what we like and things we want to do
• Passion will take you a long way, so be sure you like what you do for a living
• Working offline can help tremendously with getting things done
• Use technology to help you get things done on the go
• Delete emails once you respond (I LOVE this one!)
• Filters (email, etc.) RULE
• Peter recommends Gmail, Blackberry and a GPS in every rental car (so you can get where you need to go)
• Biggest tip:  Get up 45 minutes earlier to get things done first thing in the morning.
• To find Peter: peter@shankman.com and helpareporter.com
