The Wedges Game: Leverage Multiple Strategies
…success in a complicated endeavor depends on playing The Wedges Game (combining a number of partial solutions). After relying on and failing with the single strategy of being disciplined in exercising, I combined:
- A great cross-trainer machine that doesn’t squeak (Octane 47)
- A multichannel TiVo to record engaging TV programs
- A DVD player to support action-adventure movies when there was nothing good (violent) on TV
- A pretty good high-definition TV that was big enough to be cool (40″)
- Wireless headphones so I could have it loud enough to hear while not bothering Wendy
- Located where the location supported exercise (first the bedroom later a remodeled basement) without being depressing (the basement before being remodeled)
