Blind spots

Paradise Falls Pixar sketch
Paradise Falls is a metaphorical dream we all have – to do something epic before our time is up.

Blind spots, in the way we organize our home, are common.

What’s not common is being aware of them.

Anxiety is desire without control.

Peace is control without desire.

The price for control? Spend your life honing what’s required to function and what’s required to bring you peace and contentment.

Never plan on perfect days

Leaky faucet
If not for taking a short cut through the backyard yesterday, would have never seen this cracked metal faucet. The repair took an hour that interrupted last night’s plans.
Amazon truck driving across front yard
Delivery truck drove across our yard to lessen the walk to the front door.
Glacier postcards
The number of cards and postcards sent out this week is astonishing.

The paperwork of life. 

Having intentional margin in each day allows for unexpected events to be handled without going into crisis-mode.

Why do you need a note for this?

Photos are another way to take notes. A themed/searchable digital filing system for these photo-notes reduces stress that important thoughts, ideas, or documents will be lost.

Why do you need a note for this?

Because sometimes our overwhelm can paralyze us.

When we take our foot off the gas, we get even further behind.

Your most important personal organization tool

Mall at Millenia yesterday. Apple icon dead center.

Your most important personal organization tool is what?

Do you consciously know?

Did you identify it?

Do you have the best version of it you can afford?

Can you afford to have anything less than the best version?

These are questions only you can answer.

These are questions where your answer is immediate and emphatic.

Congratulations.

Forgetting is not a valid reason

Rather than ignore this wisp, i spent a little time with it and got lost in some pleasant memories and current hopes.

Forgetting is not a valid reason.

Forgetting means we are disorganized.

Simplicity facilitates organization.

Clarity, margin, and focus are required to thrive.

Margin means we have unscheduled time everyday to allow for unexpected opportunities and unexpected challenges.

Unexpected opportunities can include watching the sun rise, calling a friend, helping a stranger, day dreaming, or discovering a cool way to log reminders so you do the important things in your life – as simple as asking someone an important follow up question or sending a thank you note.
