Broken organization is tempting but not an option

Broken organization is tempting, but not an option.

i was 90 miles from home on a college campus visit near Tampa. Upon arrival, a tire went flat. i was also expected back home in three hours; quick trip.

Having a spare
Having AAA insurance
Having the three-month old receipt for the four brand new tires
Having initiative to let the College President know i’ll need to address this during our meeting

Take out one of the above and the unexpected situation gets harder.

Remove any two, harder still.

Three, and it’s literally a meltdown.

Organization applies to everything

2016 WPS Girls Cross Country third place at Districts yesterday.

2016 WPS Boys Cross Country District Champions.

Organization applies to everything.

Yesterday, a crisp (by Orlando standards) Saturday morning, our High School boys and girls finished first and third respectively at the Cross Country District Championships.

One Junior Varsity (JV) athlete didn’t need to be there because he didn’t qualify to run. In fact, he was the only JV teammate there strictly to watch and support his teammates. Again, he didn’t need to be there.

But he was.

And given the option, most likely would have chosen to sleep in and skip it.

But he didn’t.

He didn’t have a choice.

Eventually, he’ll be making these types of decisions on his own, without parental over-rides.

That’s the goal of parental organization – to teach.

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.

Organization reaped some decent rewards yesterday

Organization reaped some decent rewards yesterday.

Intentionally walked away from a nicely priced, but too low, speaking opportunity.
Contracted a project manager. A person i trust and a highly-esteemed former Disney Colleague.
CEO gave verbal commitment for October engagement.

In all three, i was willing to walk away.
