Getting and staying organized enhances your attitude

Apple 3TB Time Capsule
A bit like a seat belt in your daily vehicle. Probably never need (a complete laptop backup) seatbelt, but you wear it every time you get in a vehicle.

 

You can store everything you have digitally in the cloud.

Apple has the Cloud redundancy that they will never lose your stuff.

But what if you accidentally delete something from your laptop files?

Currently, Apple has automatic iCloud backups for your iPhone (without the need for a separate physical device), but not for a MacBook – that is, not unless you have a physical device.

And if you lose something from your phone, you can restore your phone to the previous day and get it back.

A recent accidental deletion of some files woke me up to getting a physcial device – Apple’s Time Capsule.

It’s wireless, and it can be set to automatically (and daily) back up your entire laptop.

The only downside is that it’s a physical device.

Oh well, do what needs to be done to never have to worry about accidents.

This freedom is healthy for your attitude.

Consistent worry, even at a sub-conscience level, inhibits (and limits) our mental attitude.

Upside down is confusing

Pluto turned 88 yesterday.

 

Upside down is confusing.

Don’t do it to yourself.

Was yesterday a blur of activity?

minion and Disney speaker
Looking back on yesterday, was it a blur?

 

Was yesterday a blur of activity for you?

Or can you distinctly carve out enjoyable, memorable, and possibly transformational moments from the past 24 hours?

What if you could?

Why doesn’t the overwhelm ever end?

Florida alligator in retention pond
Small gators keep growing. This one, from yesterday’s bicycle ride to Disney University was between 2-3 feet long. Not a threat. Yet.

 

Why doesn’t the overwhelm ever end?

Because it’s the nature of life.

Nature is beautiful and brutal simultaneously.

Our job is to find as much joy as we can in spite of the consistently unexpected events that throw us off balance.

Our best defense is learning how to dance with difficulty.

Retooling work life balance

Image of open mind
Yesterday’s mail. What about retooling our thinking?

 

What about retooling the way we think about work life balance?

Or have we convinced ourselves it’s impossible?

i was so close to giving up on it in the 1990’s.

Does that seem like the type of example we should be setting for younger generations?

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.
