One Simple Rule That Changed my Life Forever

And for what it's worth, this may need to change as your life changes. Before I had kids, my life looked completely different. I used to be all about staying up late and getting a bunch of creative work done. Now my days are early. Why? I have human alarm clocks. I have little kids. I have to change and shift things. There was times when certain meetings were green and I loved doing them.
