Leaving tomorrow. It hasn't hit me yet that I'm leaving this city and it might as well be for good even though I'm really really going to try to come back, because financially/time-wise I have no idea when I can ever make it back here.

Time Pressures from Other People

14 hours ago ago from Let the wild rumpus start!

Whenever I'm in the company of time-out using, school-using, toddler-taming people, I always feel like I'm being hurried along a bit. I ignore this feeling, of course, because I'm one of those annoying obstinate, opinionated people who has the courage of their convictions, but it's there nonetheless. I feel hurried, not just in that ...

This past Saturday brought us the Spike TV Video Game Awards and - before experiencing the litany of world exclusives that awaited us inside - we spent some time outside cruising the red carpet and talking (briefly!) to many of the game developers and talent. We squeezed them for information as fast as we could while simultaneously wishing them holiday cheer and good tidings. Yes, it was as awkward as it sounds. Here's what we learned from ...

What prevents most people from pursuing their goals is they think they don't have the time. We're all pressed for time, trying to cram more things into our days. But wouldn't it be worth it to make time for something really important? People often assume they don't have the time to accomplish a goal without even knowing how long that goal might take.
