The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

– Thomas Macaulay

I find that I waste far less time when I’m around other people. Even if I’m not actively engaging with others, the mere presence of another human keeps me focused. Whether I know these other humans or not, it’s as if I have something to prove.

I need to develop time character – how I spend my minutes when someone is watching vs. when no one will ever know.
