Don't be busy, be happy
Eddie Hallowell says it's no good to feel as if you can never catch up with what you intend to do. The solution?
1. Prioritize
2. Dump people and projects that wear you out.
They will drain your enthusiasm, then nothing in life will feel good.
Recommendations:
Don't Have Sex With Your Blackberry
Don't put your BlackBerry on the bed next to you when you have sex.
Don't Double-Con
Don't take a call while you are talking to someone else. Eddie did it while he was being inteviewed but he said it was really important. A radio station wanted to interview him.
Book Time For Sex
It's sexy to book time for sex. Prostitutes do it and they don't seem to lack business. Eddie, however, doesn't book his sex life.
Don't Suck Screen
Screen sucking is mindless surfing online. It's like channel surfing when you ought to go to bed.
Dumping Leeches
One question wasn't asked or answered. How do you dump your leeches and still be a good networker? And, also, how do you get a job? Can you see a guy in an interview saying, "I don't want to work too much."
Books
Oh, yeah. Eddie's got a book called CrazyBusy. And I actually saw Eddie interviewed for an earlier book (Delivered From Distraction about ADD) and found him very engaging.
