Podcasts. Lots of them. Get a wide variety (I have documentaries, language lessons, venture voice, this american life, word of the day, historical, social science, comedy etc.). If you're worried about iPod/iPhone space, set it to just sync only the last 10 of each podcast. That way you always have something available, no matter what your mood. I take it you are driving, but for people that get public transport I would plead Do Not Read Newspapers - they will only make you feel anxious, depressed or angry at the start of the day. It's more enjoyable and effective to read a book on a subject you want to learn about or something fictional for escapism.
