What grade do you give yourself?

executive desires
CEO of You, Inc (Executive desires). All are reasonable.

Context: competition is the battle between who you are currently compared to who you dream of becoming.

Where do you place yourself for effort:

  • A = over-focused, competition-level proactive change
  • B = above average, change when forced to
  • C = average, doing nothing now but planning to
  • D = doing nothing now and probably not going to
  • F = doing nothing now and never changing

Every CEO is in charge of their entire organization life. Your life is your “organization”. You are the CEO of You, Inc.

What this means is anyone with a C or lower is projected to go out of business.

Going out of business personally means a life of surviving versus a life of thriving.

The paperwork of life doesn’t care about your comfort

Can you imagine coordinating the travel and safety logistics for 200 high schoolers, their uniforms and instruments, and managing the parent’s expectations, not to mention Disney’s expectations?

The paperwork of life doesn’t care about your comfort.

Never has.

Never will.

No one else will care about it either.

So it’s 100% your responsibility to get really good at it.

Best wishes.

Your cascading catalog of to-dos

Your cascading catalog of to-dos. It never ends. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that you are in charge and can do whatever you want, you’re the CEO of You, Inc.

You can devise a completely different structure and processes for handling your life’s to-do lists.

You can move to a different place in your organization. You can physically move to a different place to call home.

You can do whatever you want.

Will it be easy? No.

Will it seem impossible? Yes.

Will you let any of that stop you?

And then there’s the paperwork of life

And then there’s the paperwork of life.

Went outside yesterday (a Saturday) to get some fresh air from a long work day. Yes, the weekends aren’t immune from work, even when you’re the boss and “control” how and when work gets done.

Our landscape maintenance crew’s mower broke down Tuesday at our house and they promised to return Friday. They didn’t make it Friday, nor yesterday. i walk outside and spent two hours pulling weeds.

As soon as you make decent progress

Disney Institute speakers
Twitter screenshot yesterday. i told most audiences, “At Disney, it’s chaos 24/7. The real Magic is that you’ll never believe me.”

As soon as you make decent progress to get caught up with the paperwork of life, a storm hits.

And then being decently disorganized becomes the daily challenge.

Busy as a beaver fixing their dam.

That’s us.

Metaphorically.

Figure it out.

Too busy, right?
