My Daily Digital Rules – They’re Really Tremendous
Look, we live in a digital world—it’s big, it’s powerful, it’s not going away.
A lot of people, they let the phones run their lives. Not me. Not us.
Rule number one:
I decide what the phone is for today.
Is it business, is it learning, is it talking to people I actually care about?
If it doesn’t fit the mission, it waits. Very simple.
Rule number two:
My time is valuable—very valuable—
so I don’t give it away to endless scrolling and stupid distractions.
If it doesn’t help me win—at work, with family, with health—I cut it.
Rule number three:
My name is my brand. My reputation is an asset.
So I protect my identity, my accounts, my credit—
I use strong security, I read what I’m signing,
and I don’t click on “too good to be true,”
because I know it’s usually not true.
Rule number four:
I treat every “I agree” like a contract, because it is.
If I’m too tired to read it, I’m too smart to sign it.
We don’t do bad deals. We walk away from bad deals.
Rule number five:
What I say online is still me.
I don’t hit “send” just because I’m angry for ten seconds.
I ask, “Does this help me? Does this help my people?
Would I be fine seeing this on a big screen in public?”
If not, delete.
Rule number six:
My family, my friends, my team—they matter.
If I learn something about scams, safety, protection,
I share it. I don’t let the people I care about walk into a trap.
Rule number seven:
At the end of the day, I review the game tape.
Where did I use technology brilliantly? Where did I waste time?
I don’t beat myself up, I just make a better rule for tomorrow.
We’re not victims of the internet.
We’re in charge. We use it to build, to protect, to succeed.
That’s the deal.
