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.

    Doing it! (Though my new ipod will be whining at me from my pocket. I know – I’ll leave it in the office – in a darkened drawer. It’ll be fine for 20 minutes, won’t it?)

    Great advice Chris, thanks, I’ll start on it now – except I’ll make it a winter project as I’m pretty far south of the equator.

    Cheers,

    damn, I read this early today and meant to come back to it, but the day is over and I’m not going to make it to one item on the list.

    No reason why I can’t revisit it tomorrow, though right?

    I had an awesone Thursday, doing these things, and broadening my thinking about what’s happening in the new media space. I had my first ichat with a friend; I met someone I had been dying to meet in person for at least 2 years; we wnt out for lunch and spoke more; Walk turned into a silent drive through DC and Baltimore Traffic, but it was great!

    Getting out of the comfort zone is important. It’s the only way to find that information that’s going to become your inspiration for new ideas.

    Emails were easy. I just realized why I wasn’t responding and why it wasn’t worth the time. Doesn’t end the communication, took some conversations to IM.

    Does a 20 minute unplugged drive count? I didn’t even have my cell phone on during that time. Also sat on the porch for a while after it rained, breathing.

    I spent yesterday setting up my domain and hosting and getting some stuff in line for that new design launch. I’ve been wanting to to this for years but needed a brand, a reason. I’ve finally found it.

    I didn’t buy anyone a cup of coffee, because it was entirely too irritating working out of the house yesterday. I came back to the house instead to maintain my focus.

    Yesterday was a great day for me to believe in the abilities that I have and remind myself that I do have something to give. It’s been a frustrating week and yesterday just brightened everything up.
