Do what you have to do

Do what you have to do.

So if installing a window air-conditioning unit in your vehicle’s passenger-side window makes sense, do it.

But don’t complain if it blocks your view.

Best home year ever mindset in 2018?

Best home year ever mindset in 2018?

Had a work project yesterday (a Saturday) that required overflowing creativity.

It rarely happens, but i wasn’t feeling abundantly creative, yet i had enough creativity to muster up an alternative.

Did an all-afternoon project clearing older electronics from various storage space in my office.

Cathartic.

And somewhat painful to let go of what used to be amazing technology.

Just before i deactivated my personal Facebook account

Family at Walt Disney World
Family often get only the crumbs of our time and our attention.

 

 

You should DEACTIVATE Facebook, the voice in his head repeated….

Why?

Family often get only the crumbs of our time and our attention.

A few months ago, just before i deactivated my personal Facebook account, i had an epiphany.

Rather than quit, what about starting over?

Just Family.

And maybe a handful of people i’ve known for 35-50 years who are not family.

To illustrate how desperate i was to fix what was bothering me (not being able to keep up) i don’t have a single Disney colleague on FB.

From over 400 connections to less than 60.

Now i’m able read everyone’s updates, everyday.

The 360 connections that are gone – everyone of them is still my friend, and always will be.

Plus, if you really think about it, Facebook doesn’t define who our friends are, we do.

PS. In the 100+ days since i said i was able to keep up, i’ve found the “victory” hasn’t lasted. i remain challenged to keep up. But at least it feels less overwhelming – i’ll take that.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Seemingly insignificant isn’t

Peanut butter, bread and honey
Home made room service last night.

 

With crazy traffic, going to dinner was nullified. Room service would have run us $100.

What to do?

Use the old realiable, peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

The glamour of world class DNA from a lifetime at Disney.

MOO business cards packaging
These were waiting in the mailbox when we got home from Epcot last night.

 

An amazing Graphic Designer has created my Disney speaking and consulting logo. The order for 1,000 business cards she created went out a few days ago.

In the spirit of Walt Disney, there was another thing i felt compelled to try.

After opening these last night, i submitted another order before going to bed, with two small teaks.

Fun.
