New rules.
August 5th, 2010
Starting today, I’m making a new rule for myself. It’s unbelievably simple:
“Do something, then tell people about it.”
Before I made this rule, I had been going about it completely backwards. Nobody will ever care about what you want to do, what you have plans to do, what you intend to do, or what you’re going to do. The only thing that matters – that will ever matter – is what you have done.
In honor of that rule, I’d like to tell you that I purchased a table from IKEA this week for use at my rehearsal space. This one, in fact:
Abby and I have a larger-sized version of it at home, and I was delighted to find one with half its depth, because they’re great, affordable tables, and I’ve been keeping my eye out for one with its dimensions.
I brought the table to my rehearsal space, and yesterday I put it together, along with a chair and a lamp to go with it. It’s perfect, and that’s all I’m allowed to say for now, because I made a rule.
