I get out of bed around 5:45 I feed the dogs and take them for a walk and then get to the gym or swim by 7am. Swim days I do 3000 to 5000 yds at MSA, gym days I lift and do core and stretching for an hour and then run between 5 K and 8 miles. I may go to Huntersville, Independence or back to the house to work after my workout. I usually have two meetings or more each day with key personnel from the dealerships, and spend the rest of my time reviewing results asking questions via email or text. I try to prioritize the 20% of stuff every day that will make 80% of the difference. I believe the 80/20 Principle is critical and do my best to adhere to it. I still have a long way to go. 🙂 If I have an early meeting at one of the dealerships, I get my workout in midday to 5 pm range. Either way I try to make it home before rush hour and work on emails from my kitchen table. I don’t like the home office. It’s too dark. I often don’t get finished with emails til 9 or 10 pm, but if I do finish up before 8 pm, I like to go to the studio and make a pot or trim one of the ones that’s ready to be trimmed. I also like to walk the dogs with Sandy at night if my emails aren’t too crazy. Weekends are usually a longer run Saturday morning with some emails and then Pottery and spending time with Sandy. Sunday might be a bike day depending on what I’m training for or might be off, which means more pottery, church and maybe a movie with Sandy. We rarely go out, and I’m OK with that. Fortunately so is she.

​By staying as close to the schedule as possible, but being willing to trash the schedule if something important happens. I try to prioritize the stuff that matters and push back the stuff that doesn’t.​
