Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Oh,
we're gonna break out some conversation today, and it's a
conversation about things that really drive each and every one
of us totally madly insane. Pet peeves. We all create
them in other people, and we receive other people's pet peeves.
They instantly put us in a place of discomfort. Of course,
I had to look it up. Dictionary dot com describes
a pet peeve as something that annoys us. A business
who has poor customer service is a pet peeve. People
who lick their fingers before touching money, that's a pet
peeve to those doing something to others that is very irritating.
Do they know what they're doing or is it invisible
to them unknowing? Do they not care about what they're
doing because it's created a pet peeve in the mind,
body and soul of somebody that they know. How do
we learn to identify our own pet peeves, the ones
that we're generating and other people are going God, I
just oh, I just don't like that person. I just
this is what they do. Maybe my fake laugh drives
people insane, so I'm learning how not to do that
when I'm in public. How about my daily writing. I mean,
nothing goes on in this house until I'm finished writing
in the morning. That might be driving my wife totally
berserk because nothing happens. We're just there identifying what might
agitate someone else calls for a conversation. Ask the family
member or a friend about the possibilities of there being
something about us that triggers them a pet peeve? What
about me comes to you as that pet peeve? But
here's the thing, You've got to be prepared for the truth.
It's almost never what you assume it is. Hey, Sarah,
this is the Daily Mess, a chronological walk through an
everyday world. I am a daily writer, the silent wolf.
I watch, I listen, I study, and then I want
to have a conversation, just to have a voice so
that we can all learn and or grow from. This
is the daily Mess. Well, it's no hidden secret. I
am a time freak, yet I find just enough time
to waste time. I feel like a giant mall or
a shopping center, you know, they need those giant stores
to bring people in those anchor stores. My Google calendar
has big events on it every single day, but they're
not together. They're always a part and the reason why
is because I like to put little things in between
the giant events. Some of that includes binge watching, making
time to binge watch with my wife, which some people
see as a total waste of time about hobbies although
they seem very important to one person. What do the
outsiders think of the amazing amount of time that is
required to keep a hobby interesting? Guess what I found out.
Outsiders see hobbies as frivolous, Yet those engaged in the
hobby experience a positive impact on their work productivity. See
there's a positive and there's a negative here. But how
do we get them to come together in a place
of peace and compassion? Who is being affected? How are
they being affected? And what can we do to help
create a solution. In some cases, people are locked so
deeply into their hobby that they lock themselves away from
family and friends. And I think I do that with
my writing. I think I do that with my podcasting.
I step into my own area and I don't put
anything else in it. I'm blessed with the opportunity to
talk to a lot of published authors, and we discuss
that a lot in the way of when you go
into your writing space, when do you know when it's
time to come out? And a lot of creative people say,
I do all of my writing at night. I get
my family time in, I get my personal time in,
and then at night, especially musicians, they go into the
studio at night when everybody else is resting. Are you
a time freak? Do you care about how much time
you are wasting? What is your hobby? What is the
pet peeve that drives you insane but you don't talk
about it. I'm Eryl and that's the daily mess.
