The math is the math, home

Honeymoon bicycle trip
Organized the car to drive from Washington State University to Walt Disney World. Five full days across the United States, with no sight-seeing stops. 1984.

Everything is not as it appears.

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

My goal now is to have 100% fidelity to the lifestyle i envision since retiring (a 2nd time) in December 2025.

Will continue to speak if these four things align:

  1. It’s in Orlando
  2. Date works
  3. Fee is reasonable
  4. Client is fun and easy to work with

That’s my story and i’m sticking to it.

Prioritized priorities to the rescue

Married 1983.

Honeymooned for 2.5 weeks in the Puget Sound and Vancouver Island, via bicycle trekking, a year later in 1984.

Reasons.

Mostly time and money reasons.

The possibility to speak on Vancouver Island this October is alluring.

And yet, after doing the ‘math’, the possibility isn’t close to adding up.

Perhaps i write more about it tomorrow. We’ll see.

Big decisions, home

Stop writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts after 16 years?

That’s on the table. Again.

There are 25 days to decide.

Been thinking about it randomly, unhurriedly, up until a year ago.

Still uncommitted. But leaning way closer to committed.

Controlling urgency

physician's room for medical checkup
Annual physicals are like having your HVAC system’s annual checkup. You don’t need to. You can wait. If you don’t schedule your maintenance checks, your equipment will schedule it for you.

What percentage of your time do you respond to urgent matters?

Assume that urgent means you where unprepared, blindsided, or disorganized.

What percentage of your time is never urgent?

Your two answers will total 100%.

Good new, bad news

GNP.

The alternative to hard decisions is disaster.

The good news is you do not have to make hard decisions. The bad news there are always consequences from every decision.
