Ive been putting off sharing this entertaining 14 minute video, but Im psyching myself up for the new year to break myself of this frustrating proclivity, and posting this is my first step
Besides laughing a lot, this talk gave me a few helpful insights; particularly the impactful nature of DEADLINES upon my motivation.
My two observations are:
1) It felt like the audiences rare standing ovation was driven by how thoroughly they all related to the speakers presentation.
2) Seeing the giant screen of tiny squares of a long life, has triggered my Panic Monkey into getting motivated !!
Ai-ya !
