Every day I receive some type of fax spam. In the beginning, I would receive a fax maybe once a month. One day, I decided to fix this problem. So, what did I do? I called the fax removal line/number on the bottom of my page and moved on. Great, problem solved. Err, months later, I get one or two faxes every day.

So, how do you fix this problem? Well, I don’t know. But, how about this solution to fight back. Next time you receive a fax from the company, call the number, then enter THEIR contact number. This way, their own system will start spamming themselves!

Attempt to put all of my tasks in some place on my calendar. In an effort to actually complete all of my Important/Non-Urgent tasks I’ll put them all on my calendar somewhere to make sure they are completed. Granted, the assumption here is that all Urgent tasks are complete. At this time, no tasks are urgent, so things are well.
I expect I will book all of my tasks, but not complete all of them. I’m also wondering if the art of placing my tasks in a certain time is over engineering my calendar.

Results: Wasn’t able to do it. I didn’t give it enough effort. Will try again this evening. The effort to start this was more than anticipated, but did open up a lot of information. For example, I’d have to weigh the amount of time for each task. Therefore, prioritizing became a higher… well priority. Also, considered looking at batching or bulking some tasks together.

Today starts my daily challenge. Each day I’ll try something new just to see what happens. The goal.. well, to mix it up a little, find out what makes life better.

Today’s challenge is to wait at least 1 second before responding to any question. Why? Well, a lot of times we answer questions and comments like we always have, the same. We’ve had the same conversations hundreds of times. How boring.

So, what would happen if we actually thought about our responses. Would life be better? Would we change how people see us? So, in order to ensure I respond with something new, the requirement would be to actually think. Imagine that. So, by adding a 1 second pause between each response should do the trick.

Predictions: It may startle some. They may think I’m frozen. I’m predicting I’ll have some more thought provoking conversations.

Results: I couldn’t do it. It appears as though a lot of common phrases elicit reactive responses from me. I’m going to try again today and see how it goes. On a general note, it’s easier to see the reflexive responses in others. On a general note, how many conversations are real?
