Things To Do That Don't Need To Be Done

And my “me” solution

I have been pondering “what is it with me” as I read through emails about the “once-in-a-lifetime-you’ll-learn-so-much-from-these-experts-over-3-days-one-week-one-month-challenges-webinars-summits.”

I read the emails and I begin to think: “I feel I am missing something — maybe I ought to sign up.”

F.U.L.L. S.T.O.P.

NO!! JUST NO!!

I’ve been down this path a few times and it can be intriguing. But intrigue only goes so far — and after years of signing up for online challenges-webinars-summits — I know that I mostly don’t attend live and I maybe listen to a replay if one is available. BUT — if the replay has the video controls turned off so I can’t fast forward through — I immediately stop and delete! Please — respect my time. Listening to your every word is not all that important in the scheme of things.

[Caveat: There are a few people I trust to give me good information — and if they do a webinar I often do sign up and attend/listen.]
