Genius. Thanks Larry!

So after some frustrations with the formerly glorious red box, I’ve compiled a few tips on red box etiquette.

1. Have an idea of what you want before you get to the front of the line. Nothing is more rude than standing there and reading through every description of every movie available when you spent the last 10 minutes in line chatting on your phone instead of looking over the list.
2. Don’t stand so close to me that I can feel your breathe on the back of my neck. That’s weird and you’re all up in my bubble.
3. Don’t impatiently tap your DVD case with your finger. Chances are that I’ll take even more time to find the right movie.
4. Learn how to use a touch screen! Why should it take you 10 minutes to enter your email address? Haven’t you used a keyboard before?
5. Don’t think you can just jump in line because you’re “just returning”. That takes just as long as renting.
6. Don’t ask, “Does this just take credit or can you use a debit card too?”
7. Don’t read the titles over my shoulder.

That’s all I can think of right now. Feel free to add yours if you think of something that bugs you as well.

So after 2 days of wakeboarding and surfing my brains out on our staff advance, I’m extremely drained. The thing is I’m super sore and ready for a nap but I’ve never been more pumped about what God’s doing in Wilmington, at Lifepoint, and in my life! The last two days were awesome just getting away with my 5 best friends to play together, laugh together, pray together, sing together, and seek God together.

Anyways, I’m pumped but it’s Friday and I’ve got to wrap a few things up at the office and here’s what’s going to get me through today…

So I’ve been wanting a bike for quite sometime now and with gas prices sky high, I really want one. I really dig the old school stuff and I found my dream bike on ebay for the low price of $6500.

Anyone know how I can make that much in 4 days?

Here’s some notes I took from Behance’s latest article.

- Results in the creative process are more important than the time spent.
- Time spent brainstorming and being creative is not time wasted!!!!!
- Employers should trust their creatives when it comes to efficiency and using time wisely.
- “Managers create rules and norms not in the pursuit of efficiency, but rather out of distrust.”
- “Beyond deadlines, expense accounts, and privacy, every employee must trust that their colleagues want the best for the company, care about the product, and aspire to succeed in their role.”
- “In our research at Behance, we have found that placing importance on hours and physical presence over action and results leads to a culture of inefficiency (and anxiety).”
- * “As such, your performance should be measured by your ability to get work done on time and done well. Your decisions about when and how you completed the work should not matter.”
- Respect the creative process
- “Time spent in the outer world is still productive if it is increasing the rate of idea generation and providing the mental focus required to capture and complete action steps when back in the office.”

Once again, thanks Behance!
