Over-focused travel, home

Wordpress error message — Waiting to pull away from the Atlanta gate.

Intentionally arriving two days early instead of one. Why? When you look at the temperatures, imagine an intense snow storm sweeping across the Country. If that was the case today, i’d never reach Omaha. The extra day is a backup travel day.

Sometimes i wonder what would happen if GoDaddy or WordPress got seriously hacked. And i either couldn’t ever log back into my five blogs, or all my data was erased.

It’s a ~~worry~~ ~~concern~~ worry i hate.

Note: This happened to jeffnoel.org yesterday. Was locked out for hours. Going back to junglejeff.net now to hopefully get in and write today’s post.

three people playing a card game — July 4th. We have intentionally helped these three stay connected every summer. They met in 9th grade Latin class. This Summer will be the 6th consecutive year hiking Glacier.

Over focus on the same things you used to under focus on or ignore.

IDD.

Intention deficit disorder.

Being intentional is a superpower.

i often wonder if my dad, or some leader early in my Disney career, would’ve told me to be super-intentional when i was younger, (decades younger than i am now), how that might have changed the trajectory of where i am now.

Only three things happen naturally in people’s homes: mortgage or rent, struggle, death. Everything else takes a growth mindset.

Being an adult is hard.

Home vibrancy is easier with a growth mindset: intentionally over-focusing on prioritizing your priorities in a way that your younger self under-focused on or ignored.
