Best time to worry at home

Home is your HQ. You are the CEO of You, Inc.

Home may be an apartment, condo, a backpack, RV, boat, car, bike, or an actual home.

How you manage the paperwork of life depends on your effectiveness as the Chief Executive of your home’s structure and processes.

The time to worry is well before the unending paperwork of life buries you.

Become well-organized. Simplify. Reduce decision fatigue. Prioritize your priorities and build your home’s organizational structure and processes around maximizing results and minimizing effort.

Or, become unintentionally and increasing more disorganized. If you don’t have time to do things right the first time, you will never find time to do it right the second time. This poor habit of unintentionally (under-focusing) goes viral and there’s no stopping it from ruining your mindset, your physical vibrancy, your peace and contentment, and your valuable work artistry. Victim-mentality is the common excuse for a disorganized, non-vibrant life.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Soar. Don’t waddle.

Live like you mean it. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

How forgiving?

Disney Institute Keynote speaker Jeff Noel — Oct 27, 2014…..4 days before retiring from 30 years at Disney.

How forgiving are you?

You can master forgiving others after you first master forgiving yourself.

There is no short-cut.

Self forgiveness should, and must, happen first.

This life-insight is self-evident, and irrefutable.

Remember how long it took me to answer you, “Will you forgive me?”

A nanosecond.

You asked. You received.

Then you were asked, “Can you forgive yourself?”

Our tension, our pain, our confusion…we must forgive ourselves for each being a full 50% of the problem (challenge).

Remember what i told you last night?

The house and everything in it means nothing without you in it.

Mom excluded, who’s my favorite person in the entire world?

Got your frontier or a checklist?

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel — Another insider perk. Being inside before the outside comes inside. Never. Gets. Old.

A leader pursues a frontier. A manager pursues a checklist.

As CEO of You, Inc, you’re in charge of your vision and your tactics. Keep your categories simple. Keep your checklists simple. Develop simple, powerful habits so your checklists are etched in your mind and your heart.

At a certain age, if you still need paper/digital checklists, your life needs more simplicity.

Questionable practices

Candy shelves — Sugar addiction is a questionable practice.

Questionable practices.

As a passionate observer (learning and teaching), questionable practices jump out like someone jumping up and down waving their hands and screaming for help.

Cigarette smoke might be impossible to detect by a lifelong smoker, but for a non-smoker, you can smell it a mile away. You can’t help but smell it, even if you tried not to smell it.

If you smoke or have a sugar addiction, blame yourself.

Blame no one else. Blaming others does nothing for you.

Be accountable for your behaviors and then (please) find a million ways to slay your demon.

Personal vibrancy is achievable for personally responsible people.

Yesterday’s surrender posts were inspired by today’s content thread – adversity.

Writing is great medicine.

Happy present moment.
