And now a word from my mom

Pay yourself first. ~ Sheila Wolf, retired interior designer, Kevin (and David’s) mom

My mom is gorgeous

Super smart

Remarkably healthy

The total package

Hands off, gentlemen, she recently got back together with my dad after 42 years

Not even kidding

Let’s see, where was I:

Consistency.

That’s my word from yesterday’s email

What’s missing from your day?

Here are many readers’ picks:

Synchronicity (more time away from Zoom)

Significance

Keywords that get my articles the right visibility 😅

Structure (in the form of modular scheduling)

Insight

A breather

Detachment

Collaboration

Motivation

Daydreaming

To step back

Silence

Variety

Surprise

Ease

See if this helps:

For me, the common theme to what’s missing 

Is back to what my mom taught me back in the day

During one of our many episodes of

“The Kevin Freidberg Cooking Show”

Which was always How to Make Mac n’ Cheese

And that was 

Pay yourself 

Monetarily

Emotionally

Or spiritually

First 

Before the day 

Has its way with you.

I’m here,

Kevin

P.S. This is not just for morning people. If you’re consistent, then putting yourself first puts you in the driver’s seat no matter what time you start your day.
