Lots of photos of Mickey Mouse on the Internet. Lots of photos of Walt Disney too. Same with Bob Iger.
Why companies fail to innovate: tradition. It generates friction.
Bob Iger (excerpt)
Bob’s quote is in response to his big gamble with Disney +
i consistently and continuously gamble. For example…
Going paperless.
Abandoning the computer mouse.
Wearing merino wool clothing – clothing worn for weeks before needing a wash.
Giving up keynote speech slides.
Using a speaker agent – agents add 25% to your fees.
Retiring from Disney to start my business.
Traveling without a laptop – only using a computer that fits in a pocket (iPhone).
An endless list of doing uncomfortable and or risky things.
Tradition is both timely and timeless.
There are things that should change (timely) and things that shouldn’t change (timeless).
The tactics (above) were changed.
The strategy (my unspoken value) to continuously improve will never change.
The random list of changes listed here are all endeavoring to allow me to become more organized – managing time and effort to simplify and excel at my priorities.

Slate is clear. It’s a new year to do what feels right and good.
The 2018 creative endeavor is done.
The goal: do something i’ve never done before. No expectation from anyone to react to my new behavior. None. You can never try something new if you aren’t willing to live with the consequences.
It sheds light and illuminates life with richer clarity than before.
With:
my personal Facebook account with only blood relatives and a handful of HS & College (40+ years relationships) friends
with texts
with emails
with phone calls
i didn’t initiate.
For a year.
The big reveal?
This was ok.
Why?
No one noticed.
No Facebook inquiries, no texts, no emails, no phone calls.
Turns out, what i felt guilty about, i didn’t need to feel guilty about.
Such a delightful surprise.
If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s me.
i hear you loud and clear too.
Glad this is okay on both sides.
All that worrying for nothing.
Freedom.
Gratitude.
Update (today, March 2): it’s now been 14 months, not 12.

Organized my personal and home life so i could do this bicycle ride to Logan Pass at the Continental Divide before Going-To-The-Sun Road opened for the 2018 season.
Leave room.
Breathing room.
Also known as margin.
Empty space.
On your calendar.
Make fewer promises.
Play more.
Aim for boredom once in awhile.
