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.

See your future now

13-second video: Last video today.

Wanna know what’s gonna happen if you live a long time?

You are going to lose your ability to do the physical basics.

Insidious decline with every inactive choice you make.

Sitting when you can stand.

Taking the elevator instead of stairs.

Driving instead of walking or biking.

Turning your body instead of your neck.

Can you imagine yourself chronically sitting with a singular wish?

What wish?

To walk when you want to and where you want.

Prioritize your processes

Prioritize your processes.

Huh?

Look at how this naturally flows as a priority process…

Choices. Actions. Consequences. Reflect. Improve. Repeat.

As a ladder…

Choices.

Actions.

Consequences.

Choices. Actions. Consequences.

Reflect.

Improve.

Repeat.

Reflect. Improve. Repeat.
