Ignorance favors the busy. Luck favors the bold.

No friends to show.

Growth?

Mindset?

Mistake?

Breakthrough?

Like literally everything, you never know until you try something different.

Endangered species, comments

For me and Facebook, there are five endangered species:

  1. likes
  2. comments
  3. tagging
  4. real-time posting
  5. personal details

Starting with likes, which i did prolifically for at least a decade, it’s been years on Facebook without doing it.

Why?

Reasons.

Mostly my awareness that our every Internet click can be tracked and measured. Just pausing to see what happens.

Mental gymnastics

wordpress admin dashboard
Lower right-hand corner, in red, “Missed schedule”. Hate when that happens. Yesterday GoDaddy Advanced Technical Support resolved my database issues. So coincidental that this happens less than 24 hours later. Has to be freak coincidence unrelated to anything else.

Overheard the phrase ‘calendar gymnastics’. Intrigued. It implies we need our calendar to perform like a gymnast. So i’m flushing out the concept five ways:

  1. Mental gymnastics
  2. Physical gymnastics
  3. Spiritual gymnastics
  4. Career gymnastics
  5. Priorities/Calendar gymnastics

Starting here with mental gymnastics.

Gymnast assumptions: Fit, flexible, strong core, balance, excellence, competitive, driven, no room for error.

To me mental gymnastics means we use all the gymnast’s traits to “perfect” our growth-mindset.

When people say, mind

Frozen air conditioning unit
This morning, even at 39 degrees, the older AC unit was frozen. This always happens when we get a freeze, but last night wasn’t a freeze.

When people say…

With everything that’s coming at us (etc) it’s time to really focus on our attitude. Attitude has never been more important.

Never?

Ever?

May i just ask, “Are you serious?”

What do they mean “it’s time”?

Hasn’t it always been time?

Always.

Like always.

Seriously.
