[1] Reader in the morning. I don’t need to do it anymore. I am somewhat of a morning guy, not so much of an afternoon guy. One of my habits was to wake up, do my morning routine, and then go through my 400++ feeds.
No more. Not in the morning, not now, not ever. Why? Because it is not good to spend your best energy (I have about 5 productive hours) doing tasks that can wait. I’m enthusiastically reading blogs, and commenting.
In the low energy afternoon, I can get roughly the same results.
But…in the afternoon, i’m not going to write as good content for lost, I’m not gonna make the same Podcasts or videos.
So…by relieving me of that obligation in the mornings, I can get more GOOD stuff done. Maybe someday I’ll stop reading feeds, too…because I’ve got all the information I need to build a business, I just need to ACt.
Epiphany #2:
Lakers Celtics. I watched a little bit. Used to be, I loved watching sports, the NBA playoffs in particular. Basketball played at its finest level. Well, something happened (besides a buckeye loss) in the national championship game.
Namely: I saw the emotion people were investing in the game, my friends. And I thought to myself, “in life, what ELSE are they this excited and passionate about.” Then I thought, “what am I this excited and passionate about?”
Last two games, despite them being close, I simply went to bed not curious in the second half. I don’t regret it, and I think that the chain has been broken. It’s not that joy is removed, it’s that the vicariousness of the joy has been and now it’s time to replace it with something else.
When in life do we hi five?
When in life do we scream and shout and are jubulant?
Not often, and sports is a poor substitute. Let’s find ways in life to give high fives.
