Could you use a world-class Disney Creativity and Innovation resource this year?
Cut to the chase, do you know the six-steps for continuous improvement?
Call me, i’ll teach you (and your teams).
Ps. Teaching happens after the contract is signed and the invoice is paid.

In the past 72 hours i’ve completed a lot of “paperwork”. Most of it i call high-value completion. Some call it ‘big-ticket’ items. Both are accurate.
Checked in from my car in the Quest parking lot. There for the annual blood draw. Walking into the lobby there was a line across the lobby, to the entrance door. Six people waiting to check in on the lobby device. Was in the process of opening my phone as i took a seat (obviously bypassing the lobby checkin) and i heard, “Jeffrey”. Shot up like a rocket and politely cut through the line blocking me.
Tomorrow, Sunday, is a good day to see this movie. Didn’t grow up a Dylan fan. At all. But became one once i started listening regularly a few years ago during Glacier Summers. Want to see how big a rebel he was. i like good and decent rebels. i strive to learn as much as possible from them.
While you active work on “Your Life’s” in-box, you occasionally get brief moments of glorious feedback. Feedback that validates your desire (and belief) that what you do matters. Pearl is the mom of one of our Son’s key friends. Drew was here New Year’s Day (and night) with Renato and Skylar.
Renato, Skylar, Chapin, and Drew (not in this photo) have been friends since ninth-grade Latin class nearly a decade ago. This was a 13-mile hike and the reason Cheryl took a break (and isn’t in this pic). Photo, August 2024, days before their epic train trip to Seattle.
Three on the left: Skylar, Renato, and Chapin from a couple years ago.
18-second video: August 2024. Skylar, Renato, and Chapin spent eight days in Glacier and now they’re heading to see Drew in Seattle.4-second video: Arriving Guests’ luggage. Context for this Amtrak location.19-second video: Desk draw is spartan. Spartan means: Sparta had the warriors — the guys who went to bed early and drilled all day. They lived in bare rooms and didn’t get sick days or time off. A spartan life is a life of discipline and self-denial. Some people like it like that.
Daily chores.
The paperwork of life.
Driven to make the paperwork of life…
Simple.
Functional.
Important.
Easy.
Fun.
Done from anywhere, anytime.
Scalable.

The pain of being a sole proprietor. Everything is on you.
You get to make every decision. All success is from you. All failure is from you.
Weird how an 11-year old (expired) item remains in your products folder.
Exciting to get such a quick “confirmation” for resolution.
Update: Resolution never happened. Not yet. i love GoDaddy and trust they will come through — like they always do.
When you change your priorities for the better, you might think your change seems inspiring to others. Instead, it probably makes them uncomfortable because they are confronted with their own priorities.

Winter happens every year. It’s never a surprise. We always know it’s coming. The closer you are to the Equator, the more blurred the seasonal lines become. Let’s think about how we traditionally spend our winters…
Ever think of yourself as the CEO of You, Inc?
If yes, why?
If no, why?
Let’s assume a few things:
Only one person is in charge of your life
Who do most people think is in charge of their life
Who do you think is in charge of your life
Everything in your life is your fault
Everything in your life is your success
We become what we think about.
Intentionally or unintentionally.
Can you imagine the difference between the two approaches?

Randomly found this 2017 photo of me blogging at Granite Park Chalet.
Being happy with what you have is a great place to be in life.
Pursuing what you want is the American Dream.
Can being happy with what you have prevent you from pursuing what you want?
For example…
i’m happy with spending two hours daily writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.
As the years continue to pass, especially these years in my 60’s, the thought of having two hours of discretionary time — every day — invested in something different might be a wonderful, and healthy, adventure.
The only way to know is to experiment with the idea.
How do i test the hypothesis?
Does it even matter?
What if i’m wrong?
What if i’m right?
What if i wait too long to try?
What if i start now?
Bonus thoughts:
Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.
How much is enough?
Be content with what you have and be at peace with who you are.
Luck favors the bold. Luck favors the prepared.
