Back in the day. Added color to help distinguish each blog’s focus. 5 daily, differently-themed blogs.
Top Disney Management Conference speakers
Seriously, every single day before heading out the door, i write five different blogs on five different web sites.

To be considered for…

Guinness World Record holder for most blog posts by a single author…

Each of your posts must contain a 200-word minimum word count.

Overwhelmingly, i aim to write less than 200 words for the combined five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

That math averages to 40 words per blog post.

Only know this because in 2019 Jody Maberry had one of his assistants contact Guinness Book of World Records after i surpassed 18,000 posts.

Ps. Not counting this sentence, this post is 77 words, which is generally longer than i like to write.

Three-week countdown, mind

Cats In The Cradle. No wait, cat’s on my head.

Three-week countdown, mind…

Mentally, it’s literally impossible to comprehend the daily blogging effort that began so long ago.

The mental effort to stay engaged and motivated without missing a single day…

For over 6,200 consecutive days.

By the way it’s three weeks until year 17 ends and year 18 starts.

Do the math: 365 days x 17 years = 6,205.

Daily.

Writing.

Five differently-themed blog posts on five seperate websites.

Can remember it like it was almost 17 years ago.

Just one photo, mind

Today’s posts consist of one random, any year, photo from Glacier. This post is the exception so that i can let you know i didn’t forget to write something on the other four.

Also, there will likely be written captions, but maybe not.

Planned freedom, mind

Not far from Granite Park Chalet. Oberlin is in center horizon.

Planned freedom.

Heard the phrase “planned freedom” yesterday listening to Michael Eisner talk about the summer camp he attended growing up. His father also attended. Michael’s three sons attended. The camp is 100+ years old now. The 2005 recording, called ‘Camp‘, was recorded by Disney Records.

A legendary Camp Director built ‘planned freedom’ into every camper’s daily schedule.

This unstructured time’s origin stems from the belief that young people – boys in this example -need time to follow their interests. And camp allowed for many choices of activities, or, no activities at all. Perhaps, instead, opting to play cards back at their tent with friends.

The goal was to let each camper exercise their own agency with their ‘unplanned time’.

How they planned it was a freedom centered on self-discovery.

‘Unplanned freedom’, in my opinion is what (potentially) leads adults to a growth-mindset lifestyle.

And a growth-mindset lifestyle, from the magic of doubling in my opinion, leads to a freedom only mental vibrancy provides.

Teach hope, mind

The western edge of The Great Plains sometimes reveals a species that once dominated The Great Plains by the millions. Now, only dozens are found here and there. Here (above) is a few miles west of Browning, Montana on the Blackfeet Nation.

Teach hope…

Hope, to me, is a growth-mindset daily set to auto-maintain, auto-renew, and auto-improve.

Let your daily habits be your life’s syllabus.

Let your life’s syllabus teach, without you ever saying a word, unless absolutely necessary.
