Instant Notification, OFF!

How many times have you glanced over at your phone only to see that little red notification next to your email icon? Too many to count.
How many times do you stop what you are doing to check it out? Again, too many to count.
How many times has that email been absolutely critical in that moment? Maybe once.

I’m turning  instant notification OFF for my email for 1 full week, as a part of my learnings from Zen to Done (currently on chapter 8).

I’ll let you know if my plans to change the world are hindered by this bold move.

jobs quotes

jobs quotes…putting these here so i see them often and rarely forget.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
