DISQUS

- Hi Nick - do you by chance happen to have any brighkite invitations?

thanks

- when the business is in the back yard, it is difficult to stay away. I wait until the family is asleep - then work - I've been tired for a decade.

Balance comes from a spouse who understands but who demands as much of my time as the project - which is great - otherwise I suspect I'd forget why I was working so hard - I equate this to: "Stop every now and then and smell the roses."

Finally - there's the "Are you having any fun" rule - sure not every day's gonna be fine and Jim Dandy - but if on balance, life sucks - you gotta be prepared to make radical change.

that's what I use

I like the 10 commandments approach - although I'd boil it down to "Do unto others as you have done unto yourself" - and of course the beauty is that if you don't dig what you're getting from individuals - then un-follow or block - like will tend to go with like and everybody's happy - yeah - I'm an optimist!

Totally dug the post - and yes - was hipped to your blog by Vaynerchuck - but you have spurred me to action:

My parents live in Scotland - their three adults kids live in - Los Angeles, Boston and Brighton - my 65 year old mother has sent out a daily email, called "The Daily Drivel" - to all of us (and spouses too) - every Monday to Friday since around 1999 - she was in effect blogging long before the bloggers - but - she doesn't use Twitter! So - I'm off to get her on the platform - I think she'll dig it too - watch out for @grandmanorm soon!
