You may have noticed that there was no episode two days ago on Wednesday.The summers are intense up here on the farm and they are very high impact.For the rest of the summer months I may occasionally miss an episode here or there because there aren’t always enough hours in the day, but if I do, it will likely be the Wednesday episode.I will not miss the Friday episodes for sure and hopefully not the Monday ones, just giving you a heads up.
You know, missing this episode has caused me to ponder matters of time.Time is an issue for everyone, and how we fill our time is critical.How we manage our time is of equal importance.
So here I am, with not enough hours in the day.I literally can stay busy doing stuff from when I wake up until I go to bed—so I would say I’m on one end of the extreme.On the other end of the extreme are guys that run out of stuff to do.You do all the regular stuff like eat, sleep, go to work, and go to the bathroom, but then you run out of things to do.It’s hard for me to imagine, but you get bored with life.You sit there without any meaningful activity to fill your time, so instead you allow your mind to be sucked out by TV or video games.
In between these two extremes are where most people will fall in various combinations.I personally think that one of the worst things a man can do is be bored, because that is when bad stuff happens.I’m going to talk about that today, but first I will take a minute to talk about the superstars of our Friday episodes, out sponsor, StumpTown Kilts.
I spent all last weekend outside on our place building things and doing chores and stuff like that.Luckily for me, I was wearing a StumpTown Kilt.I say I was lucky because it is the perfect garment for doing multiple tasks.They have that huge hidden pocket in the front so I can anticipate all the tools and fittings and other things I might need and put them in there.That way I never had to walk all the way back to my shop because I didn’t have what I needed.
That is just one small example of the kilt lifestyle.This coming weekend I will be hosting a big get together and I will be wearing my kilt simply because it looks and feels awesome.
The quality of craftsmanship and design are unequalled with StumpTown Kilts no matter what you are doing.That’s why they are a sponsor of this show.Right now listeners of Being A Better Man can get 10% off their online purchase by entering the code:betterman, at checkout.all one word, all lower case.To get to their website, just type in
