Hi, I’m Sterling and I am an information addict.
(HI STERLING)
It’s been 6 years since I have watched a traditional news program, 5 years since I’ve watched an entertainment gossip show, 4 year since I’ve watched live television and nearly 3 weeks since I have read over 50 blogs a week, listened to all of the 25+ podcasts I was subscribed too, unsubscribed to the 30+ email newsletters, and stopped consuming info like it was going out of style.

This week I refreshed my time budget and it is already impacting my productivity for the better. I should really do it more often.

First off, I’m an On Time Freak. If I’m 2 minutes late to something I am very hard on myself. I try to be 5 minutes early if not more to anything I’ve committed to ahead of time, but being late is not an option. It’s very hard to be an On Time Freak, because most people are fine being late.
