Podcasts (播客)
The B. S. Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor, the B. S. Report is located by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. It's not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports.
Wait, Wait… Don't Tell Me
The show is a news program in the form of a game show. Each week a group of humorists and writers join host Peter Sagal in Chicago, where they are quizzed on the week's most important and funny news stories. Listeners also get to call in to play different news related games for a prize.
The Moth
The Moth is a weekly podcast run by a nonprofit art organization. The show is made up of recordings of “true story told before a live audience without notes”. Each week, the group releases short 10-20 minute tales told by people from all walks of life. Past presenters have included writers, comedians, scientists and even New York City police officers.
Filmspotting
Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan. The show is focused on movie reviews, but hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson do more than just tell their listeners which new movie is worth seeing, they also discuss and examine the film as an art form. The show doesn't focus on current movies, either, as the hosts frequently discuss old films as part theme marathons.

Many of us deal with the rush every morning in preparation for work or school, but it doesn't have to be this way. With a little time management, these steps can help you cut down on your morning stress.
Create an evening preparation routine
These simple tasks will take you less than 30 minutes to complete each evening and will save you a huge headache every morning.
Get a good night's sleep
Make sure you go to bed at a reasonable hour to allow enough time for a healthy night's sleep. Most people require between seven and eight hours' sleep each night. If needed, set a bedtime reminder alarm on your alarm clock.
Wake up 30 minutes earlier
An extra 30 minutes in the morning will make a difference. As long as you get to bed on time, waking up 30 minutes earlier should seem natural after just a few days.
Plan a realistic day
Writing things down means you don't have to worry about forgetting to do them. Write down anything that cannot be put off to following day.

Getting up to face a new day is far more satisfying when you have something to look forward to. Make sure you manage your time better so that you have time to do something you love on a daily basis.
A.Morning stress is very common.
B.Schedule something you love daily.
C.Never fill your mind with unnecessary worries.
D.Make a summary of what you did in the daytime.
