right before leaving work to go home
right when you arrive home from work
before you leave for work
during a boring meeting (only recommended if no one will notice your inattention)
while cooking dinner
while eating (any meal will do)
while commuting (use a voice recorder if you’re driving – Safety First!)
while walking the dog
while walking on the treadmill
in the afternoon
when it rains
when the sun shines
during an appointment you made with yourself
while standing in line
while “on hold”
