How did you come up with that? When did you decide to do that? How long did it take you to get it right?
It’s hard to say. It just kind of happened.
You can’t seek it, really.
Put in the time, and when you’re least expecting it, not expecting it at all, it happens.
Do these three things:
Now, go.
When’s the last time you spent a whole day without watching TV?
No news. No Netflix. No DVR.
Yeah, you can essentially watch TV on your phone.
But still, a day where the TV never gets turned on is definitely worth the effort, especially when it requires some.
Figure out:
Anything that’s not 100% aligned with these three things should not make the cut.
Oh, and their job, as the viewer, should be clear immediately (and from 10 feet away).
This approach is much easier than trying to declutter and organize after dumping all the things that “should” be there.
Winter is for working.
Summer is for fun.
But if you do neither of the former, do you really get either of the latter?
If you’re excited, you’re exciting.
If you’re bored, you’re boring.
Seek the former. Avoid the latter.
So Zuck is donating 99% of his Facebook shares to charity.
They’re currently worth $45 billion, so $450 million is his daughter’s to keep.
Question one: wouldn’t you do the same?
Question two: how do you share that honorable, inspiring news without dropping the most annoying humble brag of all time?
It didn’t take long.
Pretty soon, I realized how much I’d be on the road. And how getting a nice piece of luggage would be a good investment.
It was.
My top-of-the-line carry-on bag was terrific. Simply, it:
But if I could do it all over again, I would do Cyber Monday 2009 differently.
That Monday, I got the matching top-of-the-line computer bag. It made as much sense as buying a designer purse.
Zero value added to my life.
Had it been around (it wasn’t) and had I known (I didn’t), I would have gotten an S-Series Vitamix, instead.
Client pays for the inputs (endless Vega protein packets). And, I get smooth, creamy, delicious drinks for breakfast, post workout, and whenever.
Today, my $350 computer bag gathers dust in the closet.
But how was I supposed to know?
I thought I WAS investing in my wellness; the damn computer bag had wheels!
[FYI: S-Series Vitamix machines from Vitamix.com (CAN) are shipped free and bear a holiday gift (for a limited time) with the Life is NOYOKE affiliate code 06-007938. And yes, you can bring them through TSA.]
I’ll be out of the office until Monday after Thanksgiving.
Like, for real, though.
I’m going to MN to be with family, and they hate it when I’m on my phone during family time.
As do I.
(Well, I actually like being on my phone around family. It’s enjoyable. But I hate myself for it, so am going to try really hard to stay away while on PTO.)
As such, here are some answers to questions you may have for me (based on ones I’ve been receiving lately and ones I get this time of year).

Gratitude is becoming a buzzword.
But it’s okay.
Its meaning transcends all bullshit and IS the answer to all your problems.
Be grateful.
Amen.
