The point was that I&#8217;m busy just like everyone else is busy, I still make time for everything that I do to stay current.  I hope that it doesn&#8217;t come off as bragging or humble bragging or that I&#8217;m just a gigantic jerk.  I wanted to really bring home the point that I go on to quote in the show that I once heard <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rubybuddha\">Leon Gersing<\/a> make at the M3 conference that, &#8220;If you say you don&#8217;t have time for something, you don&#8217;t&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I heard him say that at the lunchtime keynote and it really hit me about how much I had been slacking at that point.  So, I cut out some useless TV and I was able to do everything else in my life and still spend several hours a week honing my craft.<\/p>\n<p>As I said, I&#8217;m hoping that it comes off more as a way to shift priorities around to create a plan rather than &#8220;Hey, look at me, I&#8217;m perfect&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>That all being said, I&#8217;m off to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.codemash.org\/\">CodeMash<\/a> this week for my yearly dose of inspiration and to remind myself just how many smart people are out there and how much I don&#8217;t know!<\/p>\n<p>You can also subscribe to the podcast at any of these places:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-pete-on-software-podcast\/id789451013?mt=2&amp;ign-mpt=uo%3D4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/iTunes.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"iTunes Link\" title=\"iTunes Link\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/pospfiles\/posp.xml\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peteonsoftware.com\/images\/Podcast\/Rss.png\" style=\"border:none;\" alt=\"RSS Feed\" title=\"RSS Feed\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all the people who listen, and a special thanks to those who have rated me.
