The work is hard whether we are organized or not

The work is hard whether we are organized or not. Much has been accomplished this past week. It’s been challenging. Missing some sleep in order to finish it all.

i don’t mind because much of the time-consuming work is to make the coming days, weeks, and months much easier.

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.

First rule of life

We must balance pixie dust with reality – our dreams and hopes with our reality.

 

First rule of life: Life is hard, for everyone, get used to it and find a millions ways to figure it out.

There is something about being willing to fail

How many close friends did Walt Disney have when he died?

 

There is something about being willing to fail that is profoundly motivating, at least to me. If you want to teach a child, you must actually do the things you preach – and do them well. The lofty theory you lecture them with is only theory (again, at least to me).

Theory without habitual action is worthless.

A picture of a tool is not a tool.

Theory is only theory.

Until it is not.

Here’s a theory…

To die with five friends is to die rich?

But isn’t more, better?

(no)

Much of what we are fed to believe is based on the herd mentality. Strength in numbers. There’s a time and place for that.

To each his/her own.

Then why do i have so many friends on Facebook?

(Have been struggling with social media. Occasional posts, like this one, are part of my journey.)

Live like you mean it

Live like you mean it.

Was recently told, in a non-flattering tone, that i live each day like it’s my last.

No one really knows how this is supposed to work because it’s similar to being family with an astronaut – most of us aren’t.

It’s pioneering work, pressing the limits of what’s possible – uncharted territory as it were.

PS. Not only weekends, but weekdays

Statement about changing someone

PS. Not only weekends, but weekdays. No working after 5pm.

Gasp.

That’s right, two weeks of literally no work after 5pm.

Even to the point of leaving the iPhone in another room.

i see an issue with my actions, so change will not be difficult.
