30 Days to a Better Man Day 18: Find Your N.U.T.s
Today's task is to find our N.U.T.s: http://artofmanliness.com/2009/06/17/30-days-to-a-better-man-day-18...
N.U.T.s are more specific than core values. Core values are things like "health" or "family". NUTS are much more specific. They're things that you'll do no matter what. To give you an example, here are a few of mine:
1) I write everyday. No matter what.
2) I get outside and get my body moving on a daily basis come rain or shine.
3) I won't take a job just because it pays well.
4) My wife is my first priority.
5) My word is my bond.

Mine always come down to respect and discipline. Two issues that I have struggled with repeatedly in my life, which is probably why I've been a miserable bastard to live with for a long time.
1) I respect and cherish my wife above everything else.
2) I do not compromise who I am to become popular or appear successful to others.
3) I live within my means - always.
4) I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting me.
5) I do not indulge my addictions.
6) I spend time with my male friends weekly.
7) I dedicate time to improving myself mentally, physically and spiritually every week
8) I honour my talent as a musician by spending at least three hours a week in practice.
