Today we dove deep into a chapter from my next book (after "The Obvious Choice) - it's all about rules. I've collected about 50 rules over the years. We actually had a great discussion about the book's potential title, moving from "Too Early for Coffee" to possibly "Shut Up and Watch the Sunset," which came from this rule Calvin and I have about stopping to appreciate sunsets.

Today's main focus was on rules that start at home because your home is where you build momentum for your day and show evidence of who you want to become. We covered everything from not keeping junk food in the house (because if it's there, you'll eat it), to mowing your own lawn (sometimes it's not about time value, but about caring for your space), to greeting people at the door when they come home. These rules aren't about being perfect - I certainly don't follow them all the time - but they're reminders of the person I want to be, ways to wake up out of autopilot and become more conscious of how we live our lives.
