Dear Tomorrow,

Thank you for challenging me to be decently organized so that when you finally get here, i’m ready.

Ps. i also love that you are such a great teacher – like when the whole day flies by and nothing i hoped for yesterday gets done today. i take solace in the high odds of another chance.

Lightening up is good for your likability

Blindspots are so obvious to everyone but the person with the blindspot. The person’s blindspot is always there but just out of sight.

 

Lightening up is good for your likability. In business and in personal relationships.

Seems so obvious.

Yet.

Yet we struggle.

Behaving in a mirror image with the way we think is called integrity.

Allowing our busy schedule, and the stress it brings, to blindly have ourselves behave differently than we think is called a blindspot.

Dear Son, this is one of the many more important lessons i’d like you to practice and hone before you graduate High School.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

When everything is brand new and awkward

When everything is brand new and awkward you might not hug and you might not stand too close. Life is a process. Patience is a virtue.

You’ve prepared well

Early mornings to run helped make early mornings for school much easier.

 

You’ve prepared well and it showed this morning. Not rushing, not forgetting, not worrying – these are things a person should get used to.

What’s moving you?

16-year old novelist
He just turned 16 and is in the USA Track & Field shirt. He’s a writer first and foremost.

He recently decided to write a novel instead of his original idea for a collection of short stories.

His first book’s storyboard is obsolete because of his change in direction. Yet he hadn’t created a new storyboard. He’s been struggling to write everyday and i told him without a storyboard it will continue to be difficult.

After a heart-to-heart talk last night, he produced a decent first draft storyboard within an hour.

So impressed.

What’s moving you?
