Priorities and Calendar gymnastics

Facebook post screenshot — Wow, roughly nine years ago in 2016.

empty Facebook friends list — Creative decision to not yet delete my Facebook account. Instead, i deleted (unfriended, but i like deleted better) all 27 Friends, all linked posts, and all comments on the posts remaining. These 27 people…we can text and call each other anytime. We’re family and a few lifetime friends from hometown and college. No Disney colleagues in this account, btw.

Calendar gymnastics is the phrase that inspired today’s posts.

i prefer prioritization gymnastics.

Since our priorities drive what’s on our calendar, it feels synonymous.

Perhaps calendar gymnastics’ original definition is “balancing and flexing all the stuff we want to do with all the stuff other’s want us to do”.

To me, the best way to do that is to be crystal clear on your prioritized priorities.

More room, less space

Over the decades Americans have gradually lived in bigger houses, with less space.

Bigger dwelling.

Less space.

Paradox.

Overfocusing with your home

Over-focusing is literally on nobody’s radar.

Why?

Because over-focusing is a ‘weird’ concept.

Few have ever heard of it.

Fewer still have have ever applied the wisdom.

But grow up in a world-class organization, famous for exceeding customer (and employee) expectations, and it’s all you know — how and why would you do it any other way? Even at home, it makes perfect sense.
