Focus and Discipline at home

Photographed this exquisite creature at night by the garage light.

Focus and Discipline at home.

You want to reduce stress and increase joy?

Who doesn’t, right?

The secret lies in being decently organized.

Once you fall too far behind, you give up hope of ever getting and staying decently organized.

No hope feeds being disorganized.

You’ll never know what you’re missing.

From personal experience, being decently organized is like hitting the lottery.

The unfair advantage only you control

Board room
Yesterday the CEO gave me 20 minutes. Being off the grid for 9 days and jet-lagged could have been disastrous but it wasn’t.

The unfair advantage only you control is being decently organized.

This does not mean your life is perfect, but it does mean that you are decently organized.

Being decently organized helps you through the times when life feels overwhelming.

Feeling overwhelmed is a fairly consistent feeling – rather than occasional – when you are not decently organized.

Personal Organization creates moments

Yesterday a tiny spider was trapped in our kitchen sink. The spider a minute later was set free.
Contact for spider’s size. Spider on upper left paper towel edge.

Personal Organization creates moments. Moments as small and insignificant as coaxing (it took some creative effort and time) a tiny spider onto a paper towel to save it’s life.

Son, thank you for your compassion. It inspires me.

Homemade bank

Homemade bank.

We’ve never owned an ATM card.

Ever.

We (meaning mostly me) don’t carry cash.

We might keep $20-50 in a drawer for cash tips for whatever.

This is a challenge because sometimes it’s nice to have a little cash for whatever.

Created a small “home bank”.

Now, when i go to Kuwait, i can grab a fifty and stuff it in the wallet “just in case”.

Yes, i traveled to Kuwait recently with zero cash.

If we want to give, as a thank you gesture, a three-person landscape crew $20 each for lunch or dinner, there’s no longer the need to borrow $60 from our Son.

He also doesn’t use cash, but generally has a couple twenties.

Son, you know i’m doing this for mom and that’s the insight…be willing to create a process that doesn’t benefit you but it’s a process you own and manage.

Decision fatigue and our HQ

Iberia airline ticket
The return is off by 13 days and the final city is not Miami. Leaving Madrid June 7, landing in Orlando June 7. It’s May 3 as i discover this.

Decision fatigue and our HQ.

Bad news is the return flight’s date and destination city are incorrect.

Good news is the agency has a month to correct.

Had i not been looking for a photo from yesterday, i could have flown to Madrid and never caught this until June 6 when the 24-hour notice to check-in never arrived via email.

Son, life will deal you “bad or stormy weather”. It’s like the real weather, we get great weather, good weather, bad weather, and sometimes severe weather.

The only thing we can control is our preparedness for severe weather. We also get to control our appreciation for great, good, and bad weather.
