Right this very moment, think about how overwhelmed you are.
This is why.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Editor’s comment: this is written for an audience of one, me. If it resonates (or makes you feel uncomfortable), perfect. That’s exactly why i write these blogs to myself (and our Son, for future use)…
Where is our field of dreams?
Since 2000, i’ve become clear about the habitual pattern for using distractions, medications, and entertainment to manage the pain we experience from our unfulfilled promises to ourselves.
Yes, i think we all do it…
Medicate, distract, and entertain ourselves into a pleasurable state to avoid the pain from still secretly holding onto big dreams we have no intentions of fulfilling.
Yeah, it’s tough being an adult.
Giving up alcohol 15 years ago and caffeine one year ago have facilitated incredible focus on the obvious.
Achieving our crazy dreams require us to rethink, reprioritize, and recommit.
The long way is the short cut.

My Disney University friend’s list on the right, mine on the left.
Yes, a Disney Cafeteria napkin.
How do you prioritize cultural imperatives?
One list, based on these organizational priorities:
What is foundational?
What is flexible?
What is for the future?
Second list, in my own words:
What must an employee know?
What does an employee need to know?
What is nice for an employee to know?
When time and or money are scarce, make sure whatever you do gets done in descending order, otherwise, you are not over managing with intentionality.
In fact, when we are not intentional, we are not creating “by design”.
Without an intentional design, we are accepting a culture by default – one that happens without guidance and without focus. This a is diseased culture; one that is hard to cure.

Before going to bed last night, did we know our plan for when we awoke this morning? One priority was to photograph names of subdivisions behind Magic Kingdom, for a friend who wants to purchase a residence here.
Rest is a weapon against apathy and mediocrity.
Between ambition and being disorganized, we fight a battle with our time usage.
This will literally last a lifetime.
Consider one of my mantras:
The work day begins the night before.
It’s primary meaning is that we plan tomorrow’s priorities before we go to bed.
Of course, this is challenging, difficult even, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
It also means we should figure out how to be in bed early enough to allow for adequate and consistent rest. Simple, but not easy.
