Tom Petty was a philosopher.
Maybe most songwriters are.
Waiting is the hardest part.
If you are like me, you fill your mind with big giant to do’s.
They loom like sentinels on the horizon.
Big goals. Small goals. All the detritus that must be done to reach both big and small.
And the dishes. And loading the car. And unloading the car.
Cooking. Clothes. Sweeping. The Dog. Walking. Bathing. Feeding.
You know the list.
You live the list.
Mine is overwhelming.
Sometimes it feels like too much for one person to get done.
Then I learn from a philosopher.
You can’t always get what you want.
I’m exploring something new today.
Deloading.
Tim Ferris taught me the concept.
It is a phase of rest, of daydreaming and the intentional non-focus on goal related material.
He said it’s tough to turn off your mind.
I’m going to try for five hours. Just concentrate on driving to Dallas, on jamming to music, on the road around me.
Let the ideas and thoughts flitter like a butterfly from whatever slides by at eighty miles an hour on the open Interstate.
I think five hours is a good window to start.
A practice of sorts.
Then it’s traffic and check in and the madness of eleven boys playing in a hotel lobby while we wait.
Wait for the Rangers game.
Wait for our first game.
Wait for the philosophical conundrum that is youth baseball.
Put me in coach, I’m ready to play.
Or That that don’t kill me, will only make me stronger.
Either way, deloading. You should try it.
Disconnect, dial out and disappear from electronics, from “DOING”, from striving so hard and give your brain a break.
Maybe escape into a good book and visit someplace new.
That’s part of my plan too.

Why are we in your inbox today? Well, we're starting a special series of emails to give you a little more background on It’s 9AM and to tell you about a new initiative we are starting - our Fan Program!
