Organized World

Apple Watch fitness update — Starting the return trip back to the trailhead. Good news. It’s all downhill. Six miles worth. We will be cutting it close with daylight.

Want to be more organized?

Do what no one else is doing.

Do what no one else is even thinking of doing.

Simple doesn’t mean easy

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel — Having fun.

Simple doesn’t mean easy. Simple can be easy, but generally simple is elusive. Most think simple is too elementary.

Ending where we started

In a busy, disorganized, unprioritized world, it’s easy to ignore or gloss over things.

Repetition is the mother of all learning.

Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Live before you die.

Happy present moment.

Subtract at home

man's legs and seat back view from airplane seat — Travel as light as you possibly can.

Spend 50 days in a small motel room with no closet, no TV, no chest of drawers, no AC. You quickly learn what is essential, and what you can do without.

Subtract at home.

Less is more.

Take only what you need, only what you can carry.

Everything else is non-essential.

Shed what distracts or complicates.

Subtract decisions, habits, possessions, structure and processes that keep the main things from being the main things.
