A few days ago at a leadership meeting my up-line Diamond was telling some old war stories about when he used to show the plan all over Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio while keeping a full time day job. This required some very late night driving, and most of the time he was listening to business tapes. He said that he often crossed a threshold where even the most "fired up" tape (such as "Oh Harry" for example), with the volume cranked up, couldn't keep him awake enough to drive. That's the point when he put in his Led Zeppelin, and was able to make it home. He said that one time he asked his up-line mentor, a successful research chemist and IBO, how he stayed awake on the road. His response: Led Zeppelin. This was confirmation to my Diamond that it's okay to try to maintain balance in life and listen to something else besides Amway tapes.
Since last spring I've been doing some moonlighting at another bakery, which required me to get up almost three hours earlier than I had to for my full time baking job. Most of the time was spent driving around town in my car, making pastry deliveries in the early morning. I needed something more than business CDs too, because I was often so tired I was practically in pain. My solution: I discovered Celtic punk rock. I've been a long-time fan of traditional Irish and Scottish music, so this was a natural progression. My favorite band for the last several months is the Dropkick Murphys, an Irish American punk band from Boston. The majority of their songs are about fighting.

The Dropkick Murphys incorporate a lot of folk music into their repertoire. "Shipping Up to Boston" is a poem by Woody Guthrie that they set to original music.
What tools do you use to stay awake?
