I overslept today. I oversleep a lot. The luxury/curse of being self-employed is no one will get on my case if I show up late(r). I’m not one of those people who has established a strong morning routine in my life (like waking up at a certain time, working out before starting my day, etc.) Well, that’s not entirely accurate. I do have a routine, which involves telekinesis, the “snooze” button, and amnesia.

We often associate routine with drudgery, sameness, and boredom. However, a routine can also be a powerful tool that brings order and effectiveness into your life. I however, consistently feel like I let a lot of time slip away.

But there’s plenty of time, isn’t there?

As you may know, I believe house concerts are the most important opportunity for touring and performing artists today. Live music is consistently being marginalized (read: ignored) in public spaces, and people are generally more inclined to stay home to be entertained.

Over the past two years, it’s been my mission to spread the word about this opportunity - to artists, to music fans, and anyone else who might have an interest in seeing good art get appreciated.

I just found out today I may be running out of time.

I occasionally visit TED.com to take in some great, concise presentations on cutting edge ideas that are often very moving and inspiring. This one qualifies as a wake-up call. Here are the “Top 10 ways the world is likely to end.”

Enjoy! Then get to work. 8^)
