Ready Player One? or Leadership and Self-deception?
Too much punctuation there but I wanted the first part to be a question. A question within a question, like a wheel within a wheel, never-ending or beginning, on an ever spinning reel?
Eclectic writing, is that even a thing? Who knows, not I, that’s for sure. As for ‘Ready Player One’, well that’s my current dinner time viewing, it whiles away a few minutes as morsels are being consumed, what more can I say.
My day took a slide, a detour from the strategic plan that I had laid out, which was a little disappointing but I got past it, spilt milk and all that.
The morning was very productive and I managed to stick to my newly engaged routine, at least the reading part, that’s the reference in the title. It was a toss-up between Tim Ferriss or the Arbinger Institute.
‘Leadership and Self-Deception’ won through and I picked up from where I left off at some point at the beginning of last year. No spoilers but I will say that it’s an interesting read.
However, if you don’t know that you’re deceiving yourself, is it self-deception? That’s all I'm going to say on the subject.
One more thing and then I’m done, promise. You know, when I come to think of it, there’s a billion dollar market based on what each of us already knows. We should just study ourselves and write down our findings. Of course, one would have to be honest otherwise it becomes fiction. You heard it here first.
Things went awry when I decided to make inroads into some vehicle repairs. I won’t bore you with the tedious details, suffice to say, what I estimated taking an hour took just shy of four, sigh. Below is how I left things and in case you’re wondering, normally there would be a steering wheel in the middle.
Still, I did manage to get a washload sorted, so the day wasn’t lost. I have to keep going back to the morning, it was a good one. I picked up an inspiring quote.
“The way you begin your day is the way you live your day.” This was part of a short video that listed several recommendations that one should employ at the start of your day.
They were going to be the focus of this post but they will have to wait until the next one, methinks. I have got time to mention the 20-20-20 morning routine.
This is the brainchild of Robin Sharma, who is a leadership expert, I believe. Basically, the first hour of your day needs to be split into three twenty-minute segments, namely, movement, reflection and growth, in that order.
Looks like you might have to get up an hour earlier then. As Grant Cardone would say “Beat the Sun up” which I do like the sound of.
