Bit of a quick one today, I’m going to tell you how I start every working day in the best frame of mind possible.

I previously mentioned in my first article that I now live by a new mantra: Time is Of the Essence. I didn’t want to spend > 30 minutes a day keeping on top of current affairs by scrolling through multiple news apps, but the fear of missing out on the likes of what company went public/ who’s making what trade deal, had me scouring through a multitude of sources.

This was hugely inefficient and I often found I was coming across the same news articles in different forms, as there was heavy overlap as I tried to find fresh data. That was until a friend of mine who works in the venture capital industry shared on his Instagram story an interesting take on the daily headlines: The FT News Briefing.

Each episode reports on recent current affairs and keeps you informed on the most pressing news that has occurred over the last business day, all in under 10 minutes. Whether it be listening whilst getting dressed first thing in the morning or on your way to work, it will play an essential part in gearing your mindset to corporate settings. It’s relevance and directness earns this podcast a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Receive consistent, concise headlines in a click of a button: FT News Briefing
