Regarding number five, isn’t it important to treat all things as ‘for enjoyment’? To what extent is it worth doing something by rote if you do not enjoy it- even if it may be the most effective strategy?

Or do you find that you come to enjoy your routine?

Just last week my boss asked me to help clean out her office. She always admires my paper-free and clutter-free workspace, and she wanted my help organizing and deciding what to keep and what to toss. In the middle of the project we both realized that part of the reason why my desk is ALWAYS clutter-free is that as soon as I get something, I read it and instantly make a decision to toss it or to keep it. If I need to keep it, then I file it away immediately, otherwise it goes straight in the trash. She, on the other hand, agonizes over every piece of mail that comes her way. In her effort to stay "in the know" and on top of everything, she often finds herself completely lost and relies on her piles of paper that she never has enough time to actually read all the way through.

When we have to make an either/or decision it is quite simple. Rock, Paper, Scissors. I am one option and he is the other. If it is a simple decision that must be made quickly: sudden death, 1/1. More complex decision: best 2/3. It's simple and it works. It's quite analogous to flipping a coin, but more entertaining and fun. You wouldn't believe the number of times we've struck up conversations by doing this in line (at a restaurant or store). My friend and I travel and adventure around cities and such quite often.
