Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Short and pithy please.
Why?
Because yesterday was one blog-post riff after another.
Duly noted.
Wondering if writing will be from Glacier National Park when this post publishes June 10.

What keeps you motivated into your 14 consecutive year, writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts?
Mentally, there are two ever-refreshing models: (1) a 72-hour window and (2) a camera roll.
(1) Each day reflects on a present 72-hour window…
(2) The Camera roll:
Some days all five posts unpack a single event or topic.
Other days each post is different and unrelated to an event or topic.
These two methods got randomly revealed after finishing the original 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp.
Note: There was never any desire nor intention to write past the 100-day goal. Additionally, never thought the 100-day goal was achievable. But in true jeff-land dreaming, knew there was only one way to live with no regret – go for the impossible goal.

Grade given for second day not writing for two-hours first thing in the morning…a radical change after 13 consecutive years.
Another C.
Average.
Like day one, no burdens, no epiphanies.
So yes, average.
For sure though, it is like trying to cross your arms the opposite way you always cross your arms. You can do it fairly easily, but it requires an unusually deeper level of concentration for something so simple and routine.

Aware of how different the morning was. Enjoyed leaning into discomfort.
For starters, didn’t awaken until almost 6 AM. This was on purpose. Was tempted to feel uncomfortable by the later start.
But since there was no writing to jump into, got out of bed when it felt right instead of when a busy day historically recommended.

Starland Vocal Band’s 5.7 million views of their 1976 hit “Afternoon Delight” was the first thought yesterday wondering how today’s “official” (and unplanned) launch of non-morning writing.
Nothing like deciding in under 10 minutes that you are going to try a radical departure from a ‘lifetime’ habit.
We shall see how, and if, this change sticks.
Crave failure.
Do things that might not work.
You could be wrong.
Those things that might not work, might actually work. Perhaps even better than the original habit.
Perhaps somewhere, angelically, over the rainbow.
