I've followed and listened to Merlin Mann in the past, and he's always been very interesting and inspiring. I came to know Dan Benjamin from The Ruby Show podcast, where he appeared last summer. After a while I checked out 5by5.tv, and found many interesting podcasts on that side. He's also an interesting guy to follow.

Well, back to the said podcast, Back to Work. I subscribed, synced it to my iPhone and took a late night walk, listening to the thing. And I must say that it was inspiring, even though both of fthem said that this first episode would just be the two rambling along. When Merlin Mann stated what his idea behind the podcast is, he told a story with a punchline that was quite an epiphany for me. Without spoiling you with all the details (go take a listen - it's inspiring), I must say, that he is so right in stating the fact, that there is nothing that hinders you in doing something, building something, creating something, but yourself. There's rarely a barrier that you can't overcome by yourself. Most of the times, it's your own excuses and fears that hinders you in doing great things. And that will be an important thing that I'll have to work with myself.

Long story short - go take a listen to that first episode. I think it looks promising.
