A quick question you might consider answering: How's life flowing for you today? Flow isn't just a state of mind - it manifests in actual tangible concrete results... what results do you have?

There are things we should be doing and, obviously, things that we simply shouldn't be wasting our time doing at all. Normal people are good at filling their day with the latter, leaving not enough time to do the former. But that's OK - it makes us feel busy, confirms to us that we're wanted or needed... hell, we might even be indispensible!

Today's video confirms the one, absolutely necessary action that you need to take today... I'm not going to repeat what's in the video - if you want to know how to turn your world upside down (in a good way), three minutes and fifty eight seconds isn't going to kill you, is it - watch the video.

But what about what we should definitely not be doing? Can you think of things that you've already done today, or know, for a fact, that you'll do as the day progresses, that are - quite simple - bloody stupid? Let's consider a couple of examples - all real stories that I've encountered as I meet and talk to normal crazy people:

First up, we've John - I think we'll call them all John just to ensure that you know it's not his (or her) real name... just to avoid any embarrassment! John wastes at least one hour, every night, "channel hopping" - that's John's own estimate of time wasted - he knows he's dong it, it drives him crazy but, guess what, I know what he knows... he'll do it again tonight.

Then there's another John who must - emphasis on the word "must" - check his email religiously every fifteen minutes... regardless of whether or not he's expecting something important and, certainly, regardless of the fact that, at most fifteen minute intervals, nothing of interest has arrived. He must just do it... religiously. Now, we all know how organized religion has plagued the normal crazy mind for a couple of thousand years, just imagine what disorganized religion is doing!

And, speaking of total disorganization, there's the third John who holds the record for the number of times the email that accompanies my Ezine is opened within thirty minutes: 45 times. Yes, you read that correctly, opened more than once per minute, consistently, for thirty minutes. I can see, my email system reports who is opening what and when... John, I'm watching... and it's not a pretty sight!

Now, as sure as I'm sitting here - and as sure as I also do things that I know I'd be better off not doing - you know what you're wasting your time on. Think of all the good things you could do, how much better you'd get all the important things done, how you might even do something vital that you would never consider "just doing" if you stopped wasting all those moments of your finite life. And stop!
