I am often at odds with what I should do.

When I log onto Twitter, I find that I should check someone out on Facebook. I should click a link to an article. I should watch a video on making more money RIGHT NOW. I should join, I should respond, I should add.

It’s exhausting.

It’s also rude.

There are quite definitely things I should do. I should make sure my children are taken care of. I should write as regularly as I bathe. I should take time to experience and imagine possibilities. I should engage in my communities.

Seldom do the things I should do include things like clicking links, checking out articles, participating in surveys.

There are a myriad of things I could do, things I need to do.

Those things—just like the things I should do—are better received when they are suggested to me politely, preferably with an introduction, a question and an answer, or an introduction, an answer and a question—I’m flexible.

I’m willing to read blogs, watch videos, even participate in surveys, but not on demand. Demands never work well, you should think about that.
