My three prioritized work priorities

Three young men at a dinner table
The three caballeros. They met years ago in High School freshman Latin class. In a month they will make their fifth or sixth ‘family’ trip to Glacier together. Photo: Today at dinner time. The first time they’ve been together in six months. The whole Australia thing.

Some of the questions (about 20%) i asked my executive coaching client this morning.

  1. What are your top three priorities in Priority order?
  2. Mine are (1) have fun, (2) .think .differently, (3) lean into discomfort.
  3. Having fun is paramount to an enjoyable life. Life is too short not to. #truth
  4. .think .differently to avoiding insanity by expecting different results but doing the same thing i’ve always done.
  5. Leaning into discomfort is about taking action: a.k.a. the 72-hour challenge karma. No one builds a reputation or gets results with “what they’re gonna do someday, maybe, (probably not)”.

What will it feel like?

What will it feel like when we land?

What will it feel like when we drive through our neighborhood?

What will it feel like when we walk into our home?

Reverse Fathers Day, home

What if you start thinking the opposite about everything you believe at home?

Tradition and dogma imprint idyllic American home life.

Two cats and a dog.

White picket fence.

Couple of kids.

Tire swing on the big Maple tree.

Front porch sitting.

Vegetable garden in the back.

Surrounding the ‘idyllic American life’ is reality.

What if you thought differently?

Take ‘the perfect home’ for example…

No standard to attain.

No ‘keeping up with the Jones’.

No gluttony nor fear of missing out.

A roof over your head is the gift.

Living in America is your gift.

Clean water, drivable roads, flushing toilets, the Food & Drug Administration, public schools, law enforcement, and an endless list of world-class infrastructure and processes. This is the invisible American Dream.

Favorite questions, home

8-second video: it was time to leave Cinderella Castle at Disney’s Magic Kingdom when the parade music kicked in from the Frontierland Hub bridge. Guess who stayed a few extra minutes?
