Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
The only time i hit the snooze button is when i’m exhausted.
But coffee can fix that, right?
What if the only reason coffee serves us is because we are tired and unmotivated?
What if we got eight hours sleep every night?
What if we had a clear, concise, and compelling purpose?
What usefulness would coffee have that sleep and purpose couldn’t provide more strongly?

How do you start your Christmas morning?
Mine started an hour ago at 5am in the house i grew up in.
We arrived from Orlando yesterday.
From 80 degrees to 40.
Weirdly, i miss the 17-year tradition of starting the day delivering food for needy Central Florida families.
Visiting aging relatives, on both sides of our Family, inspires me to think about my life should i live another 20-30 years.
And i can’t help but wonder if our Son will see us as an example or a warning.
Life is hard for everyone.

The Paradox Of Preparing To Die:
Like it or not, agree with it or not, we (you and i) are dying.
From the moment we’re born.
No?
So, should we be preparing to die?
i say, “Yes.”
Why?
Because the process of preparing enlightens us on how to live more fully in the routine, daily moments that fill our lives.
i could never relate to that idea because i had never done it.
i was floating back and forth…
Most of us are neither preparing to die nor preparing to live.
Floating back and forth between doing nothing.
Going through the motions.
Sleepwalking through life.
Neither living purposefully, nor dying purposefully.
But imagine preparing to die.
Can you?
Recall how you anticipated (and prepared for) one of your favorite vacations.
Same difference.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The only constant is change.

Promiscuous amount of choice.
Wow.
Compelling juxtaposition.
i read the front and back covers of this book two days ago while waiting for a lunch meeting to start.
Catchy subtitle:
How the culture of abundance robs us of satisfaction.
To continue yesterday’s initial thought, prompted by this book’s use of the word promiscuous, be prepared for the natural human reflex of denial, which is fed by an abundance of excuses.
Please be careful this “reflex’ doesn’t last a lifetime.

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.
