Working while doing their real work
I just heard an amazing story from the book distributors of ISKCON of Silicon Valley. A few devotees there work remotely; they don’t have to go to the office. So, what do they do? This is going to shock you. They are so fired up that they bring their work laptop with them on book distribution, and set it up on the side of their book table.

When she asked about the best way to meditate, I told her mantra meditation. She took books and beads and was on her way to catch a flight back to her home in Florida....
