Staying organized is it’s own reward

Why we should do something is almost always obvious.

Our ability to cloud our thinking with bullsh!t priorities and excuses overwhelms us to the point where we just don’t care enough anymore.

This feeds on itself and insidiously makes things worse.

Is being decently organized a pipe dream?

Is it impossible?

Here’s what it feels like to overcome this thinking:

There is something about preparing for the day, which in theory could be our last, long before dawn and watching the darkness change to light.

A bit like daily eating and bathing. A literal non-negotiable.

And as they say, ‘Every damn day.’

To teach Disney is to learn it twice

(photo: T-shirt’s message is about conquering Walt Disney World… In a way, yes.)

To push humility aside, as the Marketing Director for Mid Life Celebration, LLC, it is helpful to note that becoming a Disney expert happens under two criteria:

  1. You read and study the Disney way for years upon years.
  2. You work, live, breath, sleep Disney for 30+ years, including teaching the Disney Way to CEO’s and Companies around the globe.

There is no substitute for being on the inside, from Michael Eisner to Bob Iger, to being a Magic Kingdom Custodial Manager, or a Jungle Cruise Skipper.

Funny how plans can change on a dime and become unexpectedly extraordinary.

We only began yesterday with one objective. Let’s go to Epcot for lunch at our favorite place, Japan.

It would also be a good test to see if the lifetime Disney pass kicks in right away.

The lifetime Disney pass worked fine, but the Guest pass did not.

Why? A glitch in the system?

No. During Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival, Saturday’s are blocked out for Cast Member Guest passes.

So it was off to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park for lunch.

Afterwards it was home for a two-hour nap.

And when we got hungry for dinner, guess what happened?

The idea of doing all four parks seemed easily doable.

And it was.
