Never get bored with the basics. Ever

organizing stuff
there's no one right way to organize stuff...find your own way through experimentation

What we are good at becomes so second nature to us that we no longer comprehend it as a talent. A friend recently asked me to think about a person who’s lost their glasses – after a week, they forget how clear the world looks.

One of the most basic things we can do is bust our butts to find a system that is decently effective at handling the paperwork of life. Never get bored with this. Ever.

there are some things I know that most people don’t know I know

A central Florida blogger’s conference closed out applications for speakers. Thought I’d give it a shot. Attended part of the conference last year. There are some amazing people here. A summary of why I said, “uh, oh, pick me!”

This fun, inspiring, interactive session will remind and motivate you how to….
Live like you mean it!
The two most magnificent days in your life are…..(this is a great common sense revelation).

2. RePrioritize
3. ReCommit

PS….

Was born to do work that matters.

Have spoken to 750,000 people in 13 years.
I never give the same speech twice.
Aggressively unfancy.
Funny.
Real.
(Using spare time I write five different, daily blogs on work life balance…6k+ posts and counting)

Cooper is the third yellow Lab we've had in 29 married years

Over Christmas, as I drug the old blow-up pool to the road for trash pickup, it hit me. Now or never. Can’t wait another year. Before you know, our 11 year old will be grown. We have a few good years before high school is over, maybe seven.
