No one wants to talk about it because it’s so painful

Calendars — Two days ago was thinking about the vision for 2015.

No one wants to talk about it because it’s so painful.

There’s a time management elephant in the room.

It’s not about time management, it’s about priority management.

And people aren’t confident enough to take a stand and say, “These are my priorities, in this order”.

Manage time with a compass, not a clock. Count energy, not hours.

When we let it go on too long

The proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back is not a fairytale.

Was reminded last night how easy it is to get behind on something. Something as small as organizing your music CD’s.

Let it go too long, more and more little things will start looking like straws.

Are we organized enough to design a meaningful culture?

EPCOT's World Showcase Promenade. — Walt Disney drew the first notion of “EPCOT” on a cocktail napkin. Is this relevant to employees?

Are we organized enough to find time:

To recognize something as significant
To add it in one of three big buckets: past, present, or future
To remember milestone dates
To evaluate the the value of a milestone
To decide which milestones to keep and which to discard
To prioritize milestones and their impact on your culture

Yesterday, January 24, 2015 was the second anniversary of a tragic moment for a friend and co-worker. Why significant? In 55 years, it was the first time personally knowing a suicide victim. It was the place, method and motive that made the world stop turning that morning at 8:47am.

Similiar in shock effect to September 11, 2001.

Be organized enough to do what you can

Disney's Casting Center building — Roofline at The Disney Casting Center

We also visited Team Disney, but photos are not permitted inside. We did get to see the world’s largest sundial, which is the building’s centerpiece.

Only one person knows that one of the four Disney Magic Moments was missed. Had coordinated with the Team Disney reception desk but the timing fell through. No one’s fault. But it demonstrates that creating Magic is hard work and doesn’t always work.

The other Magic Moment for Donna was receiving an autographed copy of Lee Cockerell’s new book, “Time Management Magic”. It happened in a most unexpected place by one of Disney’s hardest working and most respected Cast Members.

Disney University teaches the Disney Guest Service basics

Disney Traditions Workbook — Disney Traditions workbook at Disney University Lobby.

Disney Magic is easy for anyone to create because it is simple.

All you have to do is organize yourself well enough so that your target is so big, you couldn’t possibly miss.

It’s not the extra mile that is sustainable, it’s going the extra inch.

Have orchestrated four inches today and will share with you tomorrow how it turned out.

It won’t happen all day, everyday without decent organization.

So in reading between the lines, it can happen all day, everyday.

It should happen all day, everyday.

Some our not satisfied unless it is all day, everyday.
