Why I Do It

Consider Yourself

What about what motivates people and why people do stuff. It is a mandatory visit for all who are in constant multi-task mode, rushing nowhere, anticipating chaos, and accomplishing less than their abilities might allow.

Why do you participate in Internet communities such as Twitter, Facebook, & others?

Why do you drive through red lights and stop signs?

Why are you arrogant and rude when talking with coworkers?

Why do you push quickly through the aisles disregarding other shoppers in grocery and other stores?

Why are you rude and short with family members at mealtimes?

Why do I plan my days with little regard for family & friends who may have conflicting plans?

Where do you fit on the following chart?
