Donald Burns argues that small habits like making your bed and returning shopping carts reveal your standards. People who skip these tasks tend to lack discipline and end up with worse finances. How you handle minor responsibilities shows how you'll handle the big ones.
I know someone's gonna, someone's gonna comment when they listen to this podcast or watch, watch a short saying you can't judge somebody by if they make their bed or not. Yes, I can. Yeah, because exactly how you do anything is how you do everything.
Absolutely. I bring it back to— that's a great, that's a great point, Don. And it's, and it's, do you put your cart back?
Exactly.
Grocery store, just a simple, simple task, right? Do you leave your cart in front of, you know, other cars? Or do you actually take time? Are you disciplined enough to put the cart back in? That's why, like, people have no standards, right? The people that have— that don't put their cart back, I can guarantee you, if I look at their bank account, it won't be that high.
How about people who park crooked?
Oh, that's another thing that's gonna be annoying. Unless you're driving like a Lamborghini, you don't want people to, like, park next to you.
Even then, you're still too far away from everybody, man.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
