Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
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.

Counting today, we are one week from Christmas.
So.
.think .differently
Right?
What if a Christmas gift would be a gift received daily?
Say, for example, your presence.
.think .differently
Is the morning the only time to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts?
No.
Morning became the one and only time due to a busy Disney Institute career.
Eureka!
What if you wrote later in the day?

Feeling better today.
Back on Earth.
Mars is an interesting planet.
Few conveniences.
Walt Disney World, home on Earth.
Conveniences galore.
Just needed to write it down.
The part about quitting writing.
Whew!

Writing prolifically is uncharted territory.
A wilderness that sometimes (more like rarely) feels more like Mars than Earth.
Mostly Earth.
Like 99.79% of the time.
That’s about 4,790 days out of 4,800.
Or, on Mars, about 10 days out of 4,800.
Prior to last week, only three times have i thought, “Is it time to stop writing?”
Then last week, seven days in a row.
Ten days, so only three times before last week – or about once every 4.5 years the question comes up, “Time to quit writing?”
Point zero-zero-zero-six-five percent (0.00065%) (3 divided by 4,800 = .00065)
Infinitesimal.
The past week has been seven of those ten days on Mars.
Is it time to stop writing?
Why stop?
What about the streak?
What about 4,800 consecutive days of routine?
What about contribution?
What about the trail?
No one reading this will be able to relate to what i think, say, or do from writing 24,000+ blog posts.
Two hours a day.
Day after day.
Month after month.
Year after year.
Breakthroughs.
Profound self-discovered insights.
Aha’s.
BFO’s.
And on rare occasions, aliens.
Like, “Maybe it’s time to stop blogging.”
