RUSH: Suzette in the Woodlands, Texas. I\u2019m glad you called. You\u2019re up first today. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you so much. Mega dittos and prayers to the infinite power. And my question is, we all want to be as articulate and accurate as you are when we\u2019re discussing topics with our friends and family. Are there any tips that you can pass along to us about organizing your Stack of Stuff<\/a> and how you do that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ah. It\u2019s funny you should ask about that. Let me give you the process by which I do this each and every day. I\u2019ll do this as briefly as I can. Starting the night before — that\u2019s when show prep begins, and that\u2019s when I start reading things and looking at things. And things I find interesting I print to the printer here that\u2019s right behind me. And then I promptly forget about it. And I do that for two to three hours a night, get up, get here at the time I arrive and start doing the same thing over and over.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I start looking at everything that I rely on as a source. Things that interest me, I print them. And then about 11 o\u2019clock I stop what I\u2019m doing and I go grab everything out of the printer and I start organizing it into probably four different stacks based on the kind of news it is. And then I put those stacks together and at about 11:45 I stop, and that\u2019s the show, or it used to be.<\/p>\n

But now the news is breaking and made throughout the three-hour program, and so prepping it is an entirely different process. I still do it the way I\u2019ve always done it. What I\u2019m really blessed with, Suzette, is a good memory. I happen to know everything I\u2019ve put in these stacks. The one thing I can\u2019t keep track of sometimes is which Stack something is in. But I know I\u2019ve got it somewhere here, and I think the key to good organization is passion.<\/p>\n

You know, I love being informed. I love having things at my fingertips. I love being able to tell people off the top of my head things that I know. And that\u2019s just passion. That\u2019s having a desire to do it. Organizational skills I think are something that are different from person to person to person. I find every person has a different way of organizing things, and I\u2019ve just developed a system here over 30-some-odd years that works for me. And, interestingly, it\u2019s all individual pieces of paper. I don\u2019t use a computer once the program starts.<\/p>\n

I use a computer exclusively to prep. But once the program starts, it\u2019s all individual pieces of paper. I have to remember where things are. But my memory comes in handy and I have to know pretty much everything in the stacks. I just have to go get it to get the exact wording now and then. But I\u2019m blessed. I\u2019m blessed with that kind of skill set, and it works perfectly, this kind of application, doing a radio program like this.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How are you able to recall stuff from long ago? You seem to always be able to bring it up right at your fingertips.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, that\u2019s a good — I think that\u2019s another thing that — every one of us has different skills that we are blessed with or good at. I have been blessed that the skill set I have is 100% applicable and useful to my job. And because of that I have spent so much time perfecting it and learning how to make it work for me that I\u2019ve got years and years and years of experience here. And, you know, how do you account for a good memory? This is where my profound belief in God comes in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When I say that I\u2019ve got talent on loan from God, that\u2019s part of the recipe. It\u2019s one of the things that I mean. I\u2019ve got specific talents here that are exclusively applicable to this program. And who knows why I\u2019m able to remember something from 30 years ago. I mean, I wish I knew what the synapses occurring in my brain were. All I know is that instantly I have the recall. And it\u2019s just a blessing. I wish I could tell everybody else how to do it, but I can\u2019t. And I don\u2019t hold it against you who can\u2019t. I don\u2019t hold it against people who can\u2019t do it. I just realize it\u2019s something I\u2019m better at than most people.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, we will continue to reference you regularly.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I thank you. I appreciate the question. And I know the answer is a little insufficient. You\u2019re looking for some magic-bullet answer. I\u2019ll think about it. It\u2019s just something that I can do. It\u2019s just something that happens. And it\u2019s probably necessity, something that I have to be able to do in order to do my job at what I consider to be a superior level. I appreciate the question. I really do and the comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
