5 Things to Do Thursday- Summer of Projects

No excuses. Do these 5 things on Thursday, June 28th:

  • Delete 5 emails or action items or “save for laters” you MEANT to respond to but haven’t yet.

  • Take a 20 minute unplugged walk. No phone. No ipod. No whatever.
  • Do just one thing you’ve WANTED to do for months but have been putting off.
  • Buy someone else near you a cup of coffee or a soda pop or a beer, and ask them about their future plans.
  • Believe in yourself. Close your eyes for a moment, and just BELIEVE that you matter, that you’re something special.

That’s it. Do that. I mean it.

    1) I went through nearly my whole @Action folder. All but 2 emails. It felt really awesome. Not exactly deleting, but only because I was really able to whip through ‘em.

    2) Done. I walked to get lunch, without anything. I actually only had a deck of cards, in case I saw an opportunity to perform for someone at random. (Everyone around me seemed to be in a rush to get somewhere.)

    3) Yay! I finally setup bryanvillarin.com!

    4) I gave a homeless person $2.00 – does that count?

    5) People don’t do this too often. This felt really powerful.

    In addition to these five, I got a bunch of other stuff done because this list jarred me a bit.

    How about trying it all again today? And Monday? Perhaps Tuesday as well? Actually I recommend doing this…every day.

    More valuable than buying someone a soda or beer: sitting down and giving them your complete attention for 5 minutes. Your complete undivided attention. No phone…not even on vibrate.

    5. simple. minutes. To some people it’s worth 10 beers. To most other people it’s priceless.
