This Week’s Great Lessons
Each week on GenuineChris.Com I will put down some of the lessons that I’ve learned; these are things I’m leaning towards thinking.
You can improve skills more rapidly than you think if you’re willing to overcome a steep learning curve. This probably applies to more than you think. I’m not a PHP coder–but I could be soon. I know a little J script. The knowledge is out there, for the taking, and we just have to go grab it.
Our house does not clean itself. This has been something of an issue for H and I througout our marriage. We’ve both learned that it’s not gonna clean itself and have at least listed the components that we want to do on a daily basis. I think that having the home in a “state” is important. We’ll see where this takes us.
Jack is safer with one parent: when there is one parent watching him, we are surely sure that he is being watched. When there are two of us, both of us slack off to the point where Jack gets into more stuff than he ever could.
Fatherhood rocks: I’ve never been happier in my life, doing anything, than being Jack’s dad. I love that kid, and I feel blessed and lucky despite the fact that I’ve spent myself into another cash crunch. (But the 30-40 deals i’ll close in December will fix it).
Turning down interruptions and batching tasks is the way to go. Since i got into GTD, there have been incremental and radical changes in the way i do things. Getting into a state where we don’t have the incidental human chattering is important. We’re social creatures, but let’s put that in its place.
4:30 isn’t really that early. I feel only a smidge worse for a couple seconds.
