Using Your Time Effectively

Image
How often do you stop to take a moment and evaluate how effectively you have been using your time ? We all have the same 24 hours in a day.  Hard to fathom that someone like Bill Gates has that same period of time to accomplish what he does in a single day that us mere mortals are allotted, but its true.  I recently started evaluating my own time usage and it has led to some eye opening realizations that I need to better structure how I'm using the hours of each day.  With that in mind, I’ve been working on myself with full effort and sincerity.  One simple addition to my week to week habits has been that I am reading more books!  My wife and I just started an excellent book by Rachel Hollis, " Girl Stop Apologizing !"  Naturally we got our copy from Amazon as we've become accustomed to the ease and convenience of their site versus wondering to the store (quite relevant to the effective time usage discussion!)  While Rachel Hollis' book is defini

Dallas Mavericks: Friday is Here and With It, Game 3.

I've scoured the internet for bites or morsels of pro Mavs content in the wake of the Dallas Mavericks going up 2-0 on the L.A. Clippers, defeating them twice on their home court. While the results speak for themselves, the general narrative outside of my personal favorite Mavs Moneyball , has been that the Clippers are fumbling their efforts and letting this series slip away from them. Very few outlets are discussing the Dallas Mavericks and their hot start as the foundational reason for the Clippers short comings. Perhaps this is because the Clippers have been flailing since their 3-1 meltdown in the bubble. If you include the failure in last years bubble alongside the first two losses, the Clippers have lost 5 straight playoff games. While Kawhi and PG put up a combined 69 points, 18 boards, and 10 assists, it still wasn't enough to overcome the terrific shooting of the Mavericks squad. Tim Hardaway Jr. shot 75% from 3 point range on Tuesday, making 6 of his 8 attempt

Re-Writing Your Self-Narrative

I recently went down a google rabbit hole for the term “ self-help ” and grazed through the pages of results to see what came up.  It’s been a phrase on my mind in the last 2 months as I’m really pushing myself in a new direction in my life to try and positively albeit aggressively attack my own self-narrative .  You might be wondering what I mean by self-narrative ? Mostly I mean this idea of being the ‘you’ that you’ve always told yourself you are.  We all have an idea of ourselves in the back of our mind. That idea comes with a look, a feel, an array of tendencies, habits, and personality traits that we continually utilize to reinforce our own idea of ourselves in our mind’s eye.  My self-narrative has shifted over time and lately I’ve been looking in the mirror trying to really figure out just who it is that I want to be, but also who I want to be perceived as.   There have been a variety of inflexion points in my life that have led me down this path of self-ref
