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.

Over-manage the same things others don’t

Disney’s Cinderella Castle. One face is red with rage and the other is green with envy.

 

Yesterday, my birthday, was really cool because it included a trip to the bank to deposit a paycheck.

Over-manage the same things others either under-manage or ignore.

Yesterday’s meeting was organized to facilitate a brand new working partnership with an amazingly talented graphic designer.

Five midlife reasons to love Disneyland – one themed reason on each blog:

5. Living the lessons practiced by Walt Disney himself (hq)

Quality will out. – Walt Disney

Become the most admired company in the world. – Bob Iger

Live this way, first and foremost.

The planning, packing, traveling, living – all this is done by over focusing on things other business travelers either under focus on or completely ignore.
