over-focus – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

The closer to death, home

colorful business card — Starting my own business in 2008 was the first time i identified a life-priorities short list. In 2009, i prioritized the priority order.

The closer to you get to death, the less you care what others think about the way you did or didn’t prioritize your key home-life priorities.

Why?

Because you’ll be dead soon and nothing will matter.

Over-focus on lightness

disney speaker Jeff Noel keynote objectives — Simple. Easy. These are not the same things. Life would be great if they were.

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

Why?

For example…

Traveling light isn’t just easier—it’s liberating.

Insight: Liberation is freedom. Freedom is wealth.

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.

Private property

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.
