I’m trying to watch a movie. And I mean *just* watch a movie.
It’s hard. I’m so used to multitasking while relaxing that it’s hard to switch off and just relax.
But we need to relax. On our terms. If we don’t, we’ll collapse.
We can’t create value for anyone. Not ourselves, not the people or causes we care about.
Self care is essential.
Anyway. Back to the movie.
Most of my political spam texts have my wife’s name on them. I’d love to know how they made that association.
My wife insists on having both the theatrical and extended editions of LOTR because… because… actually I’m not sure why. We only ever watch the extended editions.
GM! I’m going to need to start preheating the car before heading to work in the morning!
First round at San Jose Country Club. Having a great time. Game isn’t too bad. #golfstr
GM! What are you working on today—your tasks that will build the life you want to live or the fiat tasks others will give you to work on building theirs?
#productivity #goals
GM! Hot take: Putting off until tomorrow something you could to do improve your life today is fiat scheduling.
GM! Attending a virtual life #planning retreat today (LifeFocus, day 2). I wrapped up one of the exercises with time to spare, so I just took a brisk walk. Movement, sunshine, and clarity!
I can at least see the logic behind most taxes, even if I don’t agree with them. The death tax is 100% confiscatory.
GM! Making #productivity sustainable is so much more enjoyable than the soul-crushing, run-yourself-ragged-and-your-family-gets-what’s-left-of-you kind. Pace yourself. Enjoy yourself. You’re in it for the long haul.
They can coexist, but I was a fan of the Fresh Prince before the Big Willie days.
GM! Do not let perfection stand in the way of improvement. Finish today better than you began it! #growth
GM! Time to go read with the kids.
Watching Aladdin (the remake). Hats off to Will Smith. He had huge shoes to fill stepping into that role, and he crushed it.
GM! Miss the Tesla event yesterday because you got caught up watching the 49ers beat Seattle? Want to watch it today? It’s okay to schedule it as a task or put it on your calendar! It doesn’t need to be something that you need to sneak in among all the “real work” that you do today! #productivity
Some of the commercials they show during football games are not appropriate for a family audience. It’s like they forget that kids watch the games, too.
Or they’re running these ads anyway, which is worse.
Today, I made amazing progress on a project that I’ve been stuck on for weeks. Had a major mental breakthrough and got it over 80% done.
And now I’m afraid that I’ll never get that momentum back if I stop and go to bed.

GM! Swedish crepes with blueberry Danish topping. Dr. Sheldon Cooper would likely not approve, but they were tasty! #foodstr
