Refining organization

The book Mid Life Celebration Book in the New York City subway
A Teddy Bear, small plastic Disney characters, a bead jar, and a book – all “i was there” photo props for our young son to know where in the world his dad was working each week.

Culture equals habits. Habits equal results. Culture equals results.

Present, mindful, motivated

Having 100 days to transition to not being able to kiss your forehead every morning was smart. When you left for college, i had adapted to the new routine. Being organized yields remarkable results.

Organized executive?

Disney princess figurines in the mountains
From Orlando to Glacier. A perfect example of over-focusing on details i used to under focus on or ignore. Family, friends, and clients love this stuff.
The bear and the bead jar made it to Kuwait to be used in a TED talk and some photos.

Once you create enough intentionally organized structure and processes at home, unintentional disorganization becomes a consistently disappointing choice.

Don’t change

What do you gain by not changing?

Year 13?

HP printer display
Replaced a six-year-old HP printer with this one yesterday. Our 10-year old back up printer still works fine. Insight: always have a backup.

Notes for today’s Guest Podcast appearance.Voice-dictated text to Podcast Host; please excuse typos, grammar.

If work stopped, writing could become a full-time endeavor. There is no livelihood in publishing a book(s) unless you are prepared to hustle like you’ve never hustled before. If i keep blogging for a 13th consecutive year, then i need to quit working – in order to finish those seven Disney business books.
