Thank you iCloud

Yesterday, January 2, 2016, started organizing the 2016 files by removing some of the 2015 files. Take a folder out, put a new, empty folder in.

Each year, less and less paper is being kept.

Still keeping the financial records, but they are stored digitally now.

Paper is becoming less and less relevant.

Thank you iCloud.

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.

Unencumbered (reprise)

Top Disney Leadership Consultant
Some people can run their business from an iPhone, unencumbered by physicality and overhead. Photo: iPhone screen shot. A rare moment when my battery gets below 50% (upper right).

 

Unencumbered (reprise).

Too much drag from our disorganized paperwork of life causes our effectiveness and efficiency to tank.

This most likely becomes an overwhelming obstacle.

Overwhelming and impossible are not the same thing.

2015 New Year’s Eve Eve

Disney Conference Keynote Speakers
This pin becomes a relic in two days.

 

Today is 2015’s New Year’s Eve Eve.

The eve of New Year’s eve, December 30, 2015.

The 14th anniversary of the last day i drank alcohol.

So tomorrow, December 31 (the “real” New Year’s Eve) is the 14th anniversary of the first sober New Year’s Eve in the previous 28 or so.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

There was no time to be bored today

Retired Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Moments before being called up to the front of the room.

 

Former Disney Institute Keynote Speaker
Tinker Bell is the the 25-year Disney Service Award. This was September 2009.

 

Former Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Walt Disney said, “Laughter is no enemy to learning.” i’d like to add, “It’s no enemy to anything.”

 

There was no time to be bored today.

Engagement, which is heavily influenced by activity and state changes, was intentionally baked into today’s 8:30am -5:00pm classroom block.

Adult learners bore easily.

It should only happen on rare exceptions, and never when you’re in charge.

Making something simple is hard

Disney management consultant workbook
Last night the final, final review. It’s off to the printer this morning.

 

It’s not the Magic that makes it work at Disney, it’s the hard work that makes it Magic.

The effort involved in creating a different type of workbook for a two-day conference was much greater than i anticipated. Making something simple is hard.
