Thank you WordPress.

WordPress makes it possible for me to be in complete control of my websites, and my writing and publishing.

i began blogging in late 2008, so it’s been eight years with WordPress.

As this goes live on March 24, 2016, i’m one week away from finishing seven consecutive years of writing five daily, differently-themed posts.

In just eight days, on April Fools Day, year eight begins.

How is this even remotely possible?

Happy Spring?

Time waits for no one.

 

Happy Spring? Well, it will be when this goes live, but today, December 12, 2015, it is not Spring. In fact, we are only ten days from Winter Solstice.

And, 100 days from now (when Spring begins) will we have been successful in launching our 2016 resolution(s)?

Time waits for no one.

Today is yesterday’ “tomorrow”.

The long way is the short cut.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Beats fighting it

iPhone 6s new features
Picking up my pre-ordered iPhone 6s today.

 

iPhone 6s and iPhone 6+s are available today.

Preordered one of each 13 days ago (the first day you could).

And there will come a day when this phone (the most advanced ever) will become antiquated.

Pretty cool how fast things change isn’t it?

PS. Whether we think the fast pace is cool or not isn’t going to change the pace. Best to embrace it, eh? Beats the heck out of fighting it.

Light changes everything

Light changes everything.

 

Both pictures where taken within 30 seconds of each other.

Light changes everything.

So does darkness.

Being organized is being in the light.

Being disorganized is being in the dark.

That’s what i think anyway.

New to do list item is to do less

Bricks
This accidental photo yesterday is perfect for today’s post about a strong, lean foundation.

 

A new item has populated my to do list. It’s to do less. And do those (less) things differently. My one-word mantra for 2015 is ‘lean’. Here are some recent examples of trimming the overwhelm out of my life:

  • Trimmed 10k+ Twitter followers to seven. Easy to stay current.
  • Trimmed 1k Facebook Page ‘Likes’ to 200. Easier to stay current.
  • Recycling cables, cords, and devices that are no longer digitally relevant.
  • Stopped drinking coffee and diet coke. No longer feel compelled to have these.
  • Thinning clothes that i’ll never wear, even though they look ‘nice’.
  • Trimmed the snack food snacking. More trips to grocery store to keep fresh fruit handy.
  • Turned off Facebook and LinkedIn notifications on iPhone. Less distracting.
  • i end each day with zero emails in my inbox, sent folder, and trash folder.

Slow and steady wins the race, but only with focus and discipline. And commitment.

You’re in charge of all these things and more.
