Humble beginnings came with stunning views and loads of discretionary time together.

 

What a chore it was yesterday to do email deep cleaning.

But the “carpets” look and smell fantastic.

Had a great client call in the middle of it all. Looks like the next paid engagement is on the horizon. A day or two ago, there was none, and it’s only March 2.

The reward for conquering our fears and doubts is transformation.

It’s what the text books repeatedly tell us, but you know what…the past 100 days have never felt so good.

Zero emails in my inbox, sent, and trash folders at the end of each day for 100 consecutive days.

Unless.

Unless they are being eaten alive, one long and crazy day at a time.

There is hope.

Perhaps this post contains the push.

What are you convinced is worth defending?

Being decently organized?

How organized is enough?

Enough to survive day to day?

Enough to be able to thrive daily?

For 60 consecutive days i’ve taken on a new challenge of not having any emails in the inbox, sent, and trash folders when i go to bed.

Zero.

To start the day with a clean slate would feel like __________ to you?

Last night’s first sunset. We were late to the party.

 

No inbox emails allow to carry over?

Crazy goal, and always reminded that if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

This morning marks the completion of three consecutive and successful days.

Update October 13, 2015: It’s been over 10o consecutive days. No one is more stunned than me. It was only to last while we spent eight days at the beach.
