Home progress

GoDaddy technical support email — In the past 72 hours i’ve completed a lot of “paperwork”. Most of it i call high-value completion. Some call it ‘big-ticket’ items. Both are accurate.

quest diagnostics medical appointment check in screen — Checked in from my car in the Quest parking lot. There for the annual blood draw. Walking into the lobby there was a line across the lobby, to the entrance door. Six people waiting to check in on the lobby device. Was in the process of opening my phone as i took a seat (obviously bypassing the lobby checkin) and i heard, “Jeffrey”. Shot up like a rocket and politely cut through the line blocking me.

movie theater seating chart — Tomorrow, Sunday, is a good day to see this movie. Didn’t grow up a Dylan fan. At all. But became one once i started listening regularly a few years ago during Glacier Summers. Want to see how big a rebel he was. i like good and decent rebels. i strive to learn as much as possible from them.

photo of a text thread — While you active work on “Your Life’s” in-box, you occasionally get brief moments of glorious feedback. Feedback that validates your desire (and belief) that what you do matters. Pearl is the mom of one of our Son’s key friends. Drew was here New Year’s Day (and night) with Renato and Skylar.

four men at mountain lake — Renato, Skylar, Chapin, and Drew (not in this photo) have been friends since ninth-grade Latin class nearly a decade ago. This was a 13-mile hike and the reason Cheryl took a break (and isn’t in this pic). Photo, August 2024, days before their epic train trip to Seattle.

nine hikers posing in the mountains — Three on the left: Skylar, Renato, and Chapin from a couple years ago.

18-second video: August 2024. Skylar, Renato, and Chapin spent eight days in Glacier and now they’re heading to see Drew in Seattle.

4-second video: Arriving Guests’ luggage. Context for this Amtrak location.

19-second video: Desk draw is spartan. Spartan means: Sparta had the warriors — the guys who went to bed early and drilled all day. They lived in bare rooms and didn’t get sick days or time off. A spartan life is a life of discipline and self-denial. Some people like it like that.

Daily chores.

The paperwork of life.

Driven to make the paperwork of life…

Simple.

Functional.

Important.

Easy.

Fun.

Done from anywhere, anytime.

Scalable.

Now ya know, you’re welcome

My Disney Experience App Cast Compliment screen — Riley, at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Merchandise, was waving to Monorail Guests every time a monorail went by. It wasn’t his job. His job was to work the cash register.

The secret to success, in any domain, is intentionality.

We live a life by default or by design.

At Disney it’s ok to be off-task (your job) if you are on-purpose (making others happy).

Now ya know.

Better late than never.

Goal

You know the answer.

i know you know the answer.

How?

Because everyone who’s in customer service knows this. It’s the first and most important thing you have.

What is the supreme goal of every single customer service interaction?
