Excuses – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Priorities and Calendar gymnastics

Facebook post screenshot — Wow, roughly nine years ago in 2016.

empty Facebook friends list — Creative decision to not yet delete my Facebook account. Instead, i deleted (unfriended, but i like deleted better) all 27 Friends, all linked posts, and all comments on the posts remaining. These 27 people…we can text and call each other anytime. We’re family and a few lifetime friends from hometown and college. No Disney colleagues in this account, btw.

Calendar gymnastics is the phrase that inspired today’s posts.

i prefer prioritization gymnastics.

Since our priorities drive what’s on our calendar, it feels synonymous.

Perhaps calendar gymnastics’ original definition is “balancing and flexing all the stuff we want to do with all the stuff other’s want us to do”.

To me, the best way to do that is to be crystal clear on your prioritized priorities.

Hybrid self-care

There was a time in my life when i thought life was unfair. i was wrong. Life is fair. The fairness is that it’s unfair to everyone.

This realization suffocated the excuses i lied about to myself.

Payment terms

The world-famous Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. An attraction at Walt Disney World and a metaphor for a life built on procrastination.

The payment terms are as follows:

The payment will always be required.

You can pay now or you can pay later.

The longer you wait to pay, the more it will cost.

Waiting to pay will grind on you with consistent anxiety, which increases like compound interest- the magic of doubling. Or, in this case, the tragic of doubling.

Paying now, daily, grants you freedom from neglect, excuses, and a probable irreconcilable situation.

Time doesn’t care if you’re ready

Glacier National Park — Roaring waterfall flowing from Logan Pass to St Mary Lake.

Time waits for no one. We know this, but we rarely behave like we do.

Why are we globally unprepared?

Inside Apple Store Mall at Millenia on March 18, the last day the store was open (but only for in-store pickups). Imagine worst case scenario, and work forward from there.

Why are we globally unprepared?

Because, quite simply, it’s inconvenient.

We can’t keep up with our own life and what we need to change to transform ourself.

How is there any chance we could look past all of that and focus on what the entire world needs?
