WSJ: THE JUGGLE - Why We Now Have No TV: And (Kind Of) Like It

From The Juggle

Great article in the Wall Street Journal.

One columnist and her family go TV free.

Read the article and a bazillion comments HERE.

My comments are below.

Do you get paid to watch TV?
If not why waste your time with it?
You live more, learn more and become more by investing your time in activities that benefit YOU & YOUR FAMILY.
Read, learn, do, succeed... Try it.
You might actually enjoy a life free from the grips of the boob tube.

Why Twitter?

Twitter can be an amazingly powerful platform for connecting to your community as well as driving traffic to the various properties you want people to go. Having an event? Tweet it out! Launched a new bag? Tweet it out! ...

My thoughts

If you want to learn more about Twitter read the rest of this article by Tara Hunt. Highly recommended.

You will probably become a follower of hers on twitter too. Her book was referenced in an online presentation [see link below]. That's how I came across her Twitter screen name.

The book does not come out until late this year.

Here is the link for Amazon

You should find the presentation by Pistachio [Laura Fitton] that references Tara Hunt here. This should be the morning lecture.

"The ABC’s of Self-Motivation"

Some interesting things to ponder here.

G3: Gotta Get Goals

It has been said that we become what we think about. Things we want to do, achieve and become are goals. No goals, no anything. Goals + persistence + tenacity = Achievement

Get some goals in your mind. Some you really truly want. Focus on them. Think about what you need to do to accomplish them.

Pick some Short [S], Medium [M] and Long [L] Term goals

[S]hort - Goals that can be achieved within a month.
[M]edium - Goals that take longer than a month and perhaps up to three years.
[L]ong Term - Goals that take three or more years to achieve.

These are simple definitions of the time frames. Make adjustments if you so desire. This system is flexible so you can make it fit your personality and beliefs.
The point is to think about what you really want, then to decide if you are willing to work hard and long enough to accomplish it.

Come up with a few goals for each time frame.


What are your thoughts?
