Good decision making

I got out of the habit of writing about entrepreneurship when I was asked to blog for the Kauffman Foundation, but I haven’t been doing that for awhile so I’m going to refocus my blog on entrepreneurship, Unified Communications and the occasional random story about cool gadgets and technology.  I guess that isn’t really very focused is it?

I returned from the New Years break and was reminded of some advice an old friend gave me years ago.  Josh Bernstein, who I just realized may be one of my first friends to get a Wikipedia page told me that before he has to make a big decision he needs three things.

  1. A clean desk
  2. A good nights sleep
  3. Plenty of exercise

I’m guessing 2009 will be a year with lots of big decisions, so before I go home tonight I’m going to clean my desk, and I commit here to not staying up so late this year.  I’m a night person, and I just can’t stand for the day to be over most days, so I often run on less sleep than is healthy.  I know it, now I need to do something about it.

Maybe I’ll ride my bike to work too as a start, but I don’t want to over commit.

Happy New Year everyone!
