Having been one of those early adopters, I’ve been using TiVo for around 10 years. I’ve gotten used to skipping past the commercials and station ids. At one point I had my remote programed to jump over the commercials and go straight back to the show I was watching.  Then one day I forgot to push the button and I saw commercials, station ids, show intros, etc. and they started putting thoughts into my head like,  how did they create that or I wonder if that’s green screened, or thats a cool effect. Now I slow down a bit, watch a few commercials, I’ve even laid off a few to try and mimic in After Effects, the great part is you can always add your own twist once it’s all animated out in your machine. There you go a cool new After Effects project that started out by watching those commercials I always skipped.

You can apply that to your life. It’s soo easy to be busy and “fast forward” through parts of our life, our family, friends, other areas just so we can create something cool and awesome. When really you  missed out on cool and awesome things when you fast forwarded through the TiVo of  life. Take some time to look around you and be with your families. I think if you do you’ll actually get more  accomplished and have better work.
