Stuck, then suddenly not

Relaxing on a pool raft
Love being able to do this on weekdays, while most others are racing to work.

 

Making progress is probably the most motivating thing there is, especially when you’ve been stuck for longer than you thought was reasonable.

While working on a Saturday afternoon (yesterday) and into the night shouldn’t happen, i’m grateful that when inspiration struck, i was organized enough to go with it.

It was weird to share this word with the CPA

Golds Gym sign
It’s simple, put stuff back where you found it. yet some don’t or can’t. Why?

 

One of the reasons the CPA and i spoke for two hours is because i’m a relationship person. Nothing is more important than trust.

Our conversation began with me asking him to tell me how he got into the business.

Later, i shared that my “word for 2015” is lean.

Simple, direct, light.

Portable, flexible.

Nimble.

Powerful.

Being decently organized helps this vision.

Being unorganized does not.

Yet we’re too busy to change.

Disney has taught me to be intentional at over managing the details others either under manage or ignore.

That’s it.

Period.

Last night’s drive.

 

Only brought a small backpack. Four days, three nights. The pair of cut off jeans i wore to travel, plus two pairs of running shorts. A tee shirt and socks for each day, toiletries. Jack the Teddy Bear, some zone bars and 10 copies of Mid Life Celebration. MacBook Air, iPhones, chargers.
