Why Set Constraints

Think of a 6th grader.

• Her full-time job involves 8 hours of school a day.
• Then, she practices with her basketball team for 2 hours.
• She then has 3 hours of homework every night.
• And on the weekends, she has 5 hours of ballet.
• Don't forget her daily chores and acting as therapist to her BFFs in boy-crises mode all-day-everyday.

And yet, she still manages to:

• Eat a hearty dinner with her family, nightly.
• Hang out with friends at the mall.
• Watch her favorite TV shows.
• Chat up her little buddies online.
• See movies.
• And, still go to bed at 9 p.m. every night.
• ...to sleep a ridiculous 8 hours.

Oh, and she remains the same jolly-joyful-upbeat hip-hip-hooray kid we all know. @$%^$^@ &^@^&!

We Adults Suck

We're 5% as productive as kids, but think:

• "We have no time for fun because we have so much work to do!"

Boo.
