The math is the math, home

Honeymoon bicycle trip
Organized the car to drive from Washington State University to Walt Disney World. Five full days across the United States, with no sight-seeing stops. 1984.

Everything is not as it appears.

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

My goal now is to have 100% fidelity to the lifestyle i envision since retiring (a 2nd time) in December 2025.

Will continue to speak if these four things align:

  1. It’s in Orlando
  2. Date works
  3. Fee is reasonable
  4. Client is fun and easy to work with

That’s my story and i’m sticking to it.

Prioritized priorities to the rescue

Married 1983.

Honeymooned for 2.5 weeks in the Puget Sound and Vancouver Island, via bicycle trekking, a year later in 1984.

Reasons.

Mostly time and money reasons.

The possibility to speak on Vancouver Island this October is alluring.

And yet, after doing the ‘math’, the possibility isn’t close to adding up.

Perhaps i write more about it tomorrow. We’ll see.

Message from CEO of You, Inc

post it not with two words
You are CEO of You, Inc and are responsible for the paperwork of your life.

A message from CEO of You, Inc…

Dear past, present, and future self,

Have fun.

.think .differently

Lean into discomfort.

Prioritize your priorities so you can live, and die, being at peace with who you are and content with what you have.

Luckiest person on the planet

Woman at the base of the Eiffel Tower
Yesterday. Paris. My Cupid.

The longer, in time, i write, the more my priorities speak to me.

Make saying no a habit

My capacity for vibrancy is inversely proportional to the number of my commitments.

Make saying no a habit.

Paradoxically, make saying yes a habit.

Bottomline, many no’s sprinkled with a few strategic yes’s.
