Hmmm, COMMITMENT, seems like a good topic to talk about today as I am feeling a bit sore due to my level commitment to My "365" program. Let me explain.
Yesterday I had one of those days where my "The 365" program was being challenged to the limit. I was flying by the seat of my pants trying to get finished all the work I needed to do on a new television "Teaser Pilot" that my co-producer and myself are currently shooting called "My Model Wife". I am leaving to pitch this show to various networks in Toronto at the end of the week and it needs to get done. It was one of those days where you start at 6am and never seem to finish. This is probably due to the fact that since I am creating the show straight "out of my head" I am never able to stop the creative juices flowing once I get going on a day like that.
For the last month or so my 'The 365" program has been going strong and I am definitely in the "UP" phase right now; meaning things are smooth, the challenge and commitments are seeming to come to me "with ease" and it has become part of my life. It has also been a very exciting last couple of weeks with me starting this blog, talking to more and more people about "The 365" and actually having a few friends on board starting their own "The 365" programs (WAY TO GO YOU GUYS). It has been a good "flow" concerning all things "The 365".
Well let me tell you, yesterday shook me to my core once again with the COMMITMENT side of "The 365".
On my plate were these things,
-Finish shooting the pilot with all the cast and crew
-work on the editing sequences and lay out the "beats" of the pilot and pass on to the editor
-confirm all travel and logistics for Toronto trip
-get the kids Xbox tracked down and make sure it hasn't been lost
-Spend time with my wife working on our relationship (I screwed up and needed to resolve some stuff with her)
-Get my brand new Scotty Cameron Putter back from the guy fixing it and make sure it worked ( I have my golf course's Club Championship this weekend and without the putter I am sunk)
-Respond to all the emails built up in the day as I have been shooting and haven't returned any
-Eat before 8:30pm
-Workout
All of us have busy lives and for some of you this day might seem easy or hard depending on your schedule and habits. For me it is a full day as well as a mentally draining one because of the passion involved with every step of the day for me. I love creating, I love my family and I love golf....three of my favorite things in one day and each one fires me up in a different way and also brings out an intensity in me. Lets get back to the commitment piece.

Bish,
ReplyDeleteHow do you determine what 4 commitments you should make to 365? I'm having trouble establishing what they should be.
