Day 178 – I think if you’re going to be successful, you’ve got to make ground rules. Ground rules are the key to stability, and when people depend on you (be it your wife, employees, clients, whoever) you have to show the level of dependability that they expect from you.
So, it’s natural that I’ve got some ground rules. Some of them are more concrete than others, some aren’t. Some are one’s that I struggle with to maintain, and of course others I take just as seriously as my marriage.
But, one of those ground rules I want to tell you about is television. I don’t watch TV. It’s just who I am. When I was younger, I wasted so much time just veggin out in front of the TV to the point that my productivity tanked. I’m pretty sure I wasted my childhood watching Yo MTV Raps. As my career developed, I had to make sacrifices- maybe this isn’t a huge sacrifice, if a sacrifice at all. But it’s a step to increased productivity.
