This is Steveer Robbins. Welcome to the Get It Done Guys quick and dirty tips to work less

and do more. So after 10 years of people nagging me, I finally did it. I went to Burning Man.

If you've never heard of Burning Man, it's a phenomenon. Every year, 70,000 people descend on one of the

most remote, inhospitable

desert plies in the world, and they build a city. It's a city made of sound, of light, of wild

art sculptures, of crazy costumes. And the culture in the city has explicit principles that

are different from daily life. One of the most famous is Burning Man's gifting culture. There's no commerce,

no logos, no cash, no barter even allowed. You bring everything you need and more. You can freely

give gifts, but with no expectation of reciprocity or of payment. So you know what? The parties were

fun, but I can party anywhere. For me, the art, the culture,

and the environment were what really left me in awe. I learned a lot about going to Burning Man,

and in case you ever plan to go, today's episode will give you a few tips that just might be

useful elsewhere in life as well. And if you don't plan to go, they might be useful too.

First, get out of your comfort zone.

I delayed going to Burning Man because I was afraid of the dust, the heat, and the sun.

Well, within an hour of arriving, my brain simply accepted it.

It's dusty, and it's hot. There's nothing I can do about it.

So let's move on.

Now, don't get me wrong. It was as hot and dusty as everyone had said,

but my reaction to the heat and dust was simply to accept it and move on.

I had spent years sure that I would be miserable, and it just didn't happen,

and I missed out on years of awesomeness.
