Short advice clip by TJ Walker arguing that people should hold high standards for their leisure time just as they do for their careers. Walker contrasts long work hours and ambition with low-effort leisure (e.g., sitting on the couch, endless scrolling, looking at coupons) and urges viewers to pursue more meaningful, screen-free fun.
Do you consider yourself to be someone with high standards? Someone ambitious? Maybe you're already working long hours, making the big bucks. All well and good, but I want you to have high standards in every aspect of your life, including having high standards for fun, for your leisure time. Too many people think nothing of working 50, 60, 100 hour work weeks, but when it comes to their leisure, they put no thought into it. No time or effort. Here's the problem. If your idea of leisure is doing nothing, and nothing means sitting on the couch, scrolling past email, social media, looking at coupons, and just wasting your time online, that's not a high standard. That's the lowest possible standard you could have. It's time to up your game and get serious about more fun in your life that is away from the screen.
