Time well wasted

Time well wasted.

Wasting time and not getting anything done at work, but serving with all your heart and soul to help a teenager become an adult.

Hours worth of not getting anything done at work.

When you feel like the time you “wasted” was the best part of your day.

Yeah, who doesn’t want more of that.

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.

 

Arriving home late is not worth it

Airport departure sign
Note time in upper right corner. Third flight from top is ours.

 

An alarm chiming at 3:30am in Montana is the price paid for a decent arrival time in Orlando. The 20-minute drive to Kalispel airport and an easy rental car return process made it undemanding to arrive early for a 6:15am wheels up.

PS. Note to self for posterity: 08.06 Saturday fly home 730am

Seven daily prescription pills

It’s not uncommon for aging adults to take seven daily pills.

Since 1999, i’ve been taking mine:

  1. cardio
  2. strength
  3. nutrition
  4. rest
  5. flexibility
  6. core
  7. goals

Doc says i don’t have to take them all, but he did insist that if i took them all my health would dramatically improve.

And what one does for the body, one also does for the mind (this website is about mental attitude). i write about physical (body) at the “next” website (link at the end of the small paragraph below…)

Thinking inside the box template

Random pile of boxes from Bailey’s General Store on Sanibel Island a couple days ago.

 

Thinking inside the box template

What do you want to be?

What do you need to do to be that?

Who’s your customer?

What do you want them to feel?

How much risk?

How much work?

Does it really matter?

Is it possible?

Are you satisfied?

Is our attitude a selling feature?

Disney Keynote Speaker featuring the Disney Way
Some entrepreneurial offices transcend tradition.

 

Is our attitude a selling feature?

Could it be a differentiator?

Should it be?

And if so, how best to communicate it? (the train of thought, below, arrived yesterday after i asked myself that exact question):

i’m not interested in your money. i’m interested in helping you. It’s what i do. The fact that you pay me is a bonus.

The stereotypical sales pitch reminds me of a blood-thirsty predator after it’s prey.

The salesperson(s) will literally say anything you want to hear.
