Mental Note: *DO IT*

This is a mental note to myself and I hope it will be useful for anyone that comes across it.

Randy Pausch www.cmu.edu/randyslecture/ was a very very cool guy. I love his lectures on time management. The reason I love them is because they're well constructed,precise,he gives practical advices for every day use....all that spiced up with very good humor and personal anecdotes. 

Randy actually shows photos of his working desk when he talks about how he organizes himself and his working space.

Why is this important?

Because I can see that he actually DOES all the cool stuff that he talks about.

I hear the lecture, I then hear another lecture, I then read some inspiring life story and the reaction usually goes: "sigh, wow, fantastic, all these incredible examples,fascinating!"

The same night the light bulb goes on, an awesome idea that I want to write about comes to mind. 

I have it all, the idea, the examples and I have a good feeling about it. 

And then I fall asleep. 

Yup, roll to the left and Wonderland here I come!

Do I have the idea this morning? No...no, I don't.

And although the reaction: "Maybe it was not that good in the first place" is comforting, I know it misses the whole point. 

You think post it reminders are good- put on post it reminders, you think 30min. of meditation will set the tone for your day-meditate for 30min, energetic music and dancing around wakes you up and makes you feel good- dance...that's my example,I  actually did that this morning :)

We are very often caught up in thinking about cool things...and that's the difference. 

People we find successful and inspiring DO those stuff, they don't just think about them.

Nope, my idea is not back..yet..in case you were wondering
