To each their own, home

Prioritize what you want to prioritize.

To each their own.

Don’t worry about what others think about your priorities.

They don’t worry about what you think of theirs.

People care less than we think they do. We can even go as far as saying they spend zero time worrying about how you run your life.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Live and let live, home

Let people prioritize the way they want to prioritize.

Prioritize as much or as little as suits you.

My three prioritized work priorities

Three young men at a dinner table — The three caballeros. They met years ago in High School freshman Latin class. In a month they will make their fifth or sixth ‘family’ trip to Glacier together. Photo: Today at dinner time. The first time they’ve been together in six months. The whole Australia thing.

Some of the questions (about 20%) i asked my executive coaching client this morning.

What are your top three priorities in Priority order?
Mine are (1) have fun, (2) .think .differently, (3) lean into discomfort.
Having fun is paramount to an enjoyable life. Life is too short not to. #truth
.think .differently to avoiding insanity by expecting different results but doing the same thing i’ve always done.
Leaning into discomfort is about taking action: a.k.a. the 72-hour challenge karma. No one builds a reputation or gets results with “what they’re gonna do someday, maybe, (probably not)”.

Teamwork at home

Two small backpacks on the floor — Using “kiddie backpacks” because they are better for a day on the trail.

Cheryl did a ton of yard work yesterday.

i didn’t do any.

On purpose.

Why?

Finished packing two small daypacks for Saturday’s trip.

The smaller your pack, the more intentional you pack.

Kinda like that saying, “I wanted to write you a shorter letter but didn’t have time.”

My packing is tedious by what cannot be taken. Simultaneously considering what is essential to stay safe in the wilderness.

Home road trip

Chess board set up with weird pieces and traditional pieces — Talk about a state change! This one is on so many levels.

What is it, like 5,000 consecutive days?

Like nearly 15 full years never missing a day.

Some state changes can start and last a lifetime.
