What is my purpose? The Last Thing I Want To Do Is Hurt People
This is Part 3 in my “I Quit” Series of Blog Posts. You can find the previous two entries (“I Quit, Part 1″ and “Death of the Infoslut” by clicking here.
In my last post (the tantalizingly named “Death of The Info Slut”) I laid out the drastic steps I’ve been taking to cut down my nasty addiction to useless information (did you know Cher had $145,000.00 in plastic surgery? I DID. How messed up is that?)
Now that I’ve (mostly) got my crazy info addiction and “chicken with no head” tendencies under control, it’s time to really focus on what I want to be doing, who I want to be doing it with and what I ultimately want to be known for.

Hey . . .
If you’ve read my “Death of the Info Slut” article (and according to my blog stats a lot of you have) then you know I’m doing some major changes to the way I structure my day and live my life.
My good friend Kim says that I’m “Living with a startling amount of intention.”
Currently I’m working on a new “Mantra” . . . something I can mumble to myself or speak clearly in my mind anytime I feel overwhelmed, like I need to rush or otherwise stressed. (I hate that feeling.)
Here are the options. Tell me which one you like best and why:
1. “There are plenty of hours in the day.”
Pretty straightforward. Nice counterpoint to the standard “there aren’t enough hours in the day” bit.
2. “There are more than enough hours in the day.”
My gut tells me this might be the better option. It’s a more literal reaction to the “Not enough” line and somehow feels more “abundant” and “calm” than the “plenty” line.
3. There are too manyhours in the day.
Heh. Probably not. But it sounds pretty amazing to have that problem.
4-6. Basically the same as 1-3 but append “(To do what’s important)” on the end.
So “There are plenty of hours in the day (to do what’s important.),” “There are more than enough hours in the day (to do what’s important)” and (strangely) “There are too many hours in the day (to do what’s important.)”
There’s a certain strange brilliance to that last one, but I don’t think it’s what I’m going for.

I'm too lazy to edit this. But just pretend it says "Info Slut."
This is part 2 in my “I Quit” series of blog posts. You can see the first post here. In today’s post I go into my RIDICULOUS addiction to information and how I’ve started putting systems into place to deal with it.
My name is Chris Haddad and I’m an info addict . . .
Actually, that’s wrong. I’m not an info “addict.” I’m an info SLUT . . .
Ask my friends, (ex) girlfriends, family members, enemies and even some of my clients and they’ll tell you that I’ll give my attention away to ANYTHING . . .

That’s it, I quit.
As of right now, right here in front of everybody (with you, dear reader, as my witness and my friend) I’m officially quitting my job.
That probably sounds weird.
I mean, can you really quit your job when your unemployed?
