Over-focusing is literally on nobody’s radar.
Why?
Because over-focusing is a ‘weird’ concept.
Few have ever heard of it.
Fewer still have have ever applied the wisdom.
But grow up in a world-class organization, famous for exceeding customer (and employee) expectations, and it’s all you know — how and why would you do it any other way? Even at home, it makes perfect sense.

Photo 2005. Alicia, pictured here, and i were together on September 11, 2001. We were delivering a four-day Disney Institute program then. Pictured here in 2005, Alicia was helping facilitate a new leader transition for Leslie Campbell (i think). “New Leader Transition” is when a new leader communicates their style and asks for the team’s (each individual) style. Below, highlighted in red, is a snapshot into “Jeff-Land”.
Photo: 2005 internal leadership session. My public declaration for how i like to be “recognized”: “Freedom, Flexibility, and Development”. Fun to reminisce.
The interesting thing about your home is a fascinating paradox.
The bigger your living space, the more you have to take care of.
As you age, you have to decide where you want to spend time and money.
The less you have, the less you have to take care of.
Same goes for your your home’s “lot”.
Our “lot” is big.
And…
i’ve been intentionally architecting a low-maintenance “big-lot” design. Most of our big yard will not need tending to. It’s a work in progress.
Been intentionally, by design, working on it for a few decades. And in the past four years, an accelerated perimeter barrier and buffer. A wilderness landscape requiring no maintenance.
i love envisioning a future that’s not only better than now but much better than now.

Ask senior leadership if they continually invest in training and development. Wait for their ‘no’. Then ask them, “Who communicates more about your brand than the way your front line interacts with your customers?”
i don’t have the answers, i have the questions.

Looking back two decades ago. It’s fun to do the math. The math is my vision back then and how that vision manifested over 20 years to today.
Decluttering frees you to get to the important stuff.
The personal leadership stuff.
The stuff that makes you happy.
The stuff you will never regret doing or getting better at.
