More is worse

A monthly event calendar — The Flathead Valley, home to Glacier International Airport, has a lot of options for things to do.

Is having more choices worse than having fewer choices?

Depends.

Brainstorming is designed to give you the opportunity to think about as many potential solutions as possible. Why? because you can only pick from the ideas you generate.

Paradoxically, to scale a lifetime of personal decision making, too many choices makes deciding take longer. Too many choices also creates chronic decision fatigue.

Two types of mustard, which do you pick?

Mental illiteracy?

Apple Watch fitness app — Was out for a bit this morning and walked 10 miles. Three weeks in Australia did not yield rigorous movement. i moved decently in Australia, but not rigorously. Happy to do so today.

Is knowing that reading great books can dramatically help us, but not reading them the same as not being able to read?

Countdown to Glacier 2024, mind

Satellite map of Glacier National park — From the airplane’s seat back screen. Left is Continental Divide. Right is Great Plains.

Super cool to awake in our own bed yesterday.

The more places you see, the more similarities between humans you see.

And, the more places you see, the more differences between humans you see.

Here’s the insight (wisdom) i’ve gained…

i’ve learned our similarities, which appear to me as universal, are foundationally important.

i’ve also learned our differences are overwhelmingly unimportant.

Waking up in your own bed, mind

Car radio screen — Rental car dashboard screen, upper right corner, 5:29am.

Tomorrow morning we wake up in our own bed for the first time in three weeks.

If you’ve not done this in a while, three consecutive weeks is a long time to wake up and use a hotel bathroom.

It’s a long time to be waking up without the normal, daily, home-court advantages you enjoy.

You don’t miss your home advantages nearly as much as when you’ve only been away on a three-day weekend trip or a one-week cruise.

There’s a tipping point in travel time that gifts you with life insights you’d never contemplate otherwise.

Counting so many blessings as we return to ‘normal home-court’ living.

Flying home from Australia

No place like home.
Sage wisdom

Writing this from our final morning in Alex Head, Australia.

In an hour, we drive our rental car south to Brizzy to catch our flight to San Francisco. (and then from SFO to MCO)

We are leaving five hours before our flight to accommodate all logistics as well as an ample buffer for the unforeseen.

Note: Intentionally no photos nor videos today.
