Of course this Summer is gonna be epic

Glacier National Park, last Summer (2017).

Of course this Summer is gonna be epic.

How could it not be?

Plus, it’s by design and completely intentional.

Why?

The reality is none of us know our end date.

And this got me to wondering, back in 2009…

What if we created a realistic date (based on our current age) as a deadline for doing stuff we might later regret not doing?

Would it work?

And what does, “Would it work mean?”

Fast forward from 2009…

i created a 10-year plan to accomplish everything i wanted (at the time) to do.

A simple list.

About five or six years into it, i added “Spend a Summer hiking in Glacier National Park.”

Yesterday, this article about Glacier Cabins possibly becoming available for lease.

Crazy.

Being organized means over-focusing on things

Being organized means over-focusing on things you used to neglect.

An indoor security camera revealed a hired worker doing something in our home that was not appropriate.

i nipped it in the bud.

On short notice, Chapin and i finished a project together.

Without the camera, and a gut feeling, i would have never discovered the truth about the young man i thought i could trust.

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.

Plan, focus, enjoy, excel

Rising Sun Motor Inn — Corner room, door open.

Lake McDonald boat dock, on the way to Kalispel.

Lake McDonald Cobb House porch — A hidden gem we had never seen before.

Glacier Park Ranger Tim — Ranger Tim, right.

Back at our room around noon, we (mostly Cheryl) packed and loaded the car. i double booked us for Friday night so we could check out of Rising Sun as late as we wanted to and still get to Kalispel before dark. With a 6:15am flight, we didn’t want to drive three hours over Going-To-The-Sun Road from 1:30am-4:30am.

A leisurely drive east from 2:30pm-5:30pm, with many stops, landed us in Apgar for dinner at Eddie’s. Some shopping and then a 45-minute drive to Kalispel. The hotel was less than impressive but we found things to be grateful for. The second day of the Olympics was on TV as we fell asleep around 10:30pm.

Over-focus on things others under-focus on or ignore

There were also dozens of additional to-do items (like in this photo from LinkedIn) on top of the list below.

Breakfast with Lee Cockerell before 7am, gym workout, deposit speaker’s fee check at bank, mail 20 commitment letters (a letter each leader wrote to themselves) one month after the executive leadership session, client call, lunch, email management, another client call, Apple Store One-to-One training session, pickup 9th grader, run with 9th grader, dinner with Family (frozen pizza), after hours client call, then three more hours of work, and finally lights out.
