The paperwork of life – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Post-it note with handwriting — Days later, still working to close my Old GoDaddy Legacy account. Multiple calls, on multiple days, to multiple people. A few emails too. The drag from ‘administrative friction’ puts unproductive strain on our time and psyche.

Oil leak on concrete under a car — Same unwelcome drag when one issue, car repair, becomes a series of domino-effect unresolved administrative chores. Pictured here is a new oil leak, after $3,600 (and three weeks). Will have to return to Action Gator Tire and begin again to ask, “Why is this happening? It wasn’t happening before i brought it to you. Please exceed my expectations, if possible.”

iPhone alarm clock setting — Getting eight hours of sleep is a daily ‘to-do’. It is never on a list though. It’s an automatic (atomic) habit. Actually got nine hours last night. Yay me. Day seven, Flu-A. Sleep is recovery medicine.

The cosmos.

Inexplicable.

Hard to articulate.

But i feel a cosmic energy shift in my commitment to minimalism.

Note: i envision less of everything is more of everything. It sounds paradoxical. Which is in my wheelhouse. So that feels like money in the bank.
