There are times when I’m doing my Mystery School Monday segment and thinking to myself, “My viewers would be better off if they shut down the computer and started practicing.”....why aren’t we all working on perfecting the effects we already have instead of constantly searching for something new? ~ Bryce Kuhlman - All I Want for ChristmasI have been thinking about this a great deal since the last days of 2011.
I do not consider myself a huge consumer of products. I do succumb to the lure of books but do so with hopefully, some restraint.
But I worry about the consumption of other more passive things. Things like the lure of the number of blogs that I find that are very helpful, people on Twitter that I find fascinating, or videos and films on YouTube or Vimeo that are informative or inspirational or magical.
I suppose my question is: Is this really the best use of my time? I know what my answer is. However, am I willing to own it? Or do something about it? It's way too easy to be seduced. When it's over, do I really feel good about it?
My want is to stop the flow - not 100% and not all the time but to wean myself a bit. Cut loose a few mailing lists. Hold some time to be passive media free - maybe a half day or day a week.
It's time to work on the things that are important and getting better at the things that matter - like developing a little expertise and being a better performer.
