Handwritten notes on a piece of paper
Things that add to your paperwork of life. Travel. United States column and Australia column. January was a busy ‘work’ month. Had many calls to coordinate.
Australian university info sign
Very first UniSC photo. Local and regional customs, mandates, laws, etc, can change from what you know at home.
Family of three posing on a college campus
Second UniSC campus photo.
College campus safety info board
Tenth UniSC campus photo.
Prepaid mobile phone plan receipt
A day later. Grateful each of our phones had e-sim capability. Looking back, it was way too involved to establish an Australian mobile account. We physically had to go to a store and work with an associate. It was cumbersome and clunky. But it had to get done.
Australian equivalent of 911
Something as simple and routine as calling 9-1-1 is different here. Better know this before you need it. Australia’s 911 is 0-0-0.

AMP.

Means what?

Always More Paperwork.

Life’s In-Box.

It ebbs and flows as you ebb and flow through life.

It ends when you end.

Note: i’m banking on a plan that will minimize any in-box surprises for whomever is the Executor of my will.

The paperwork of life

Post-it note with handwriting
Days later, still working to close my Old GoDaddy Legacy account. Multiple calls, on multiple days, to multiple people. A few emails too. The drag from ‘administrative friction’ puts unproductive strain on our time and psyche.
Oil leak on concrete under a car
Same unwelcome drag when one issue, car repair, becomes a series of domino-effect unresolved administrative chores. Pictured here is a new oil leak, after $3,600 (and three weeks). Will have to return to Action Gator Tire and begin again to ask, “Why is this happening? It wasn’t happening before i brought it to you. Please exceed my expectations, if possible.”
iPhone alarm clock setting
Getting eight hours of sleep is a daily ‘to-do’. It is never on a list though. It’s an automatic (atomic) habit. Actually got nine hours last night. Yay me. Day seven, Flu-A. Sleep is recovery medicine.

The cosmos.

Inexplicable.

Hard to articulate.

But i feel a cosmic energy shift in my commitment to minimalism.

Note: i envision less of everything is more of everything. It sounds paradoxical. Which is in my wheelhouse. So that feels like money in the bank.

Clutter and indecision

Glacier national Park
GNP. Lake Sherburn. Grinnell Point and Many Glacier in background.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams. Appreciate your materials things, and learn to reduce, reuse, recycle, or trash what doesn’t bring you joy. Clutter and indecision destroy peace and contentment.

The proverbial inbox

GNP.

Home is what i call HQ (headquarters). You are the CEO of You, Inc. You are responsible for the paperwork of your life. Everything. Put structure and processes in place to scale a lifetime of paperwork.

Paperwork of Life

When you are decently organized, this is how your face looks. All day, every day.
The paperwork of life is switching to the digital work of life.

Are you 100% leading yourself?

Need a distraction from the news?

Get your own act together.

Send digital copies to all designated people.

If you still feel like it, go back to being a critic.

Or perhaps, publish a leadership book.

Be amazed and be amazing.
