Organize now for the end

Dana (left) and Christopher Reeve. Young Will just getting started. i met and hosted them four years later (and two years after Christopher’s accident) at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.

Hospice nurses often list five emotional tasks for the end of life:

  1. thank you
  2. I love you
  3. please forgive me
  4. I forgive you
  5. goodbye.

Why wait until it’s literally a breath away from too late?

Yesterday Chapin and i spent an hour at the bank proactively arranging financial accounts more effectively. Cheryl was at Walt Disney World helping Mickey and the gang.

John F. Kennedy is credited with saying…

The time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining.

None of today’s posts are about being perfect, but every one of them is about being excellent.

Risk like you mean it

Yesterday’s Podcast recording experiment.

As a kid, i listened to the Swiss Family Robinson album over and over and over.
landscape plan design flaw
In three months, the Panera sign will be blocked. It will be 10-15 years or more before these palms clear the lettering. Sable palms grow 3″ per year.

Risk like you mean it.

Take risks when the need is low. Failure then will not matter much, if at all.

This is a glorious place to be.

The key to making this a habit is to be organized so you have time to dream. When you are overwhelmed with a busy schedule, you lose this opportunity. In this case, you take risks because you’re desperate and disorganized.

Peace of mind comes from being organized

Arlo Netgear support
Top Tweet. Couldn’t find a way on Arlo’s website to email or initiate a chat. So i turned to Twitter.

 

i love Arlo wireless security cameras. Have a bunch. In trees, in the house, etc.

So cool to be able to check on things from my phone at any time and from anywhere.

Also nice to have motion activated alerts and video clips.

Have several other types of wireless security cameras.

Monitor and protect like you mean it.

Suddenly, there’s a massive threat and everyone runs

Disney Leadership expert speakers
The Disney Half-Marathon staff over-focuses on excellence, even at the water stations.

 

Big snow storm predicted for mid-Atlantic states today. Every winter this is a possibility. Quiz time…how prepared are you?

Same thing happens here in Orlando every late Summer, early Fall – hurricane season.

Suddenly, there’s a massive threat and everyone runs to the stores to stock up.

What if stocking up was a pre-season to-do habit?

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.

Practiced listening, just didn’t think it would take so long

Old school rotary dial phone
Who could have ever envisioned the iPhone?

 

Organized enough to be able to invest in a three-hour call yesterday. That’s a long time for a Saturday call. Yes, some things i wanted to get done didn’t happen, but none of them caused anxiety.

Why?

Because i’m almost always in an offensive position, meaning i rarely work in the “oh my gosh, i’m falling behind” space.

Please note, to stay (mostly) in an offensive position is grueling work. Staying in a defensive position is also grueling.

It seems too me if the work is grueling no matter which position, why would i pick anything other than offense?
