Do you ever have moments where you’re super frustrated with yourself about a thing you just can’t seem to stop doing?
Maybe it’s that you heard through water cooler gossip that your boss thinks you socialize too much.
Or that your brain won’t stop coming up with ideas. There’s so many ideas that you can’t stick to one long enough to get anything done.
Or you can’t stop Pinning and Instagraming.
Or you’re completely obsessed with your cat and think of her as your guru.
You doodle all day long, peruse DIY blogs and your dvr is 98% full of reality tv…
Guess what!
These are not vices. Don’t stop doing them. Own them and leverage them.
Contrary to what your boss or your mom or your high school nemesis might say… Things you love to do hold tons of wisdom about what you’re meant to be doing with your life. <– click to tweet that!
You just have to get creative and figure out how to use them to your advantage.
That last one is mine. I am completely obsessed with reality tv. There, I said it.
I used to make myself miserable with all the internal berating about wasting time and being lazy. But, once I realized how many branding and marketing lessons I was getting from watching reality tv, it became fodder for my biz.
Yes, I now consider tv time to be research time!
