If Disney was running your life

Season 3 is missing. It was set to publish at 1:00AM.

If Disney was running your life you wouldn’t miss the launch window.

Why?

Because people trust you to do what you say you’re going to do.

Happy 98th birthday Betty White

Waking up to another day. At some point, we become accutely mindful that old age means the train will soon be arriving.

Happy 98th birthday Betty White.

Betty turned 98 January 17, 2020, yesterday.

So here she is, today, beginning her 99th year.

Guessing that every evening she wonders if she’ll see the light of day.

Guessing every day she wonders if she’ll get to lay her head on a soft pillow in the evening.

Perhaps that’s the paradox of 98 – there’s no doubt you only have a handful, at best, years left.

At 60, 70, 80, we can easily think, “At least another decade or two.”

What’s your go-to note taking method?

Graph showing vision and commitment
Dreamt this graph in my head and wanted to capture the idea.

What’s your go-to note taking method?

Post-it notes is mine.

Like anything during seasonal stress (end of year holidays/deadlines), it can become overwhelming if structure and process isn’t optimized and continuously improved.

When notes have an unusal surge, i photograph them and put them in photo folders.

This is with the assumption that these are the notes that don’t require immediate or imminent action.

Notes on the graph:

  • bottom left: low vision, low commitment = avoid
  • bottom right: low vision, high commitment = bull in china shop
  • top left: high vision, low commitment = sporadic starts & stops
  • top right: high vision, high commitment = intentional efforts

Happy present moment

December 31, 2019. On a bicycle. Yesterday.

We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.

Confucius

Every day i wake and want to save the world and savor the world. This used to make it a challenge to plan the day. But now i see that the two are actually inseparable.

i didn’t plan my life to have these things in my bio. But because they are in the bio, i am compelled to use this for humanity’s good.

BIO: Jeff Noel is a two-time Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. He retired in 2014 as Disney Institute’s highest rated, most requested speaker. He spent 30 years in various leadership roles at the Walt Disney World Resort, including 15 years at Disney Institute where he worked with 2,000 organizations and spoke to more than one-million people globally.

Merry Christmas

Simple. Unique, because we are waking up Christmas morning (today) on Sanibel Island. Photo: yesterday.

Merry Christmas 2019.

Up at 3:00 AM, and now at 4:00 AM, this post is being written.

Up early because the inexplicable excitement for Christmas Day.

So much unassuming goodness.

We haven’t seen a single traditional sunrise or sunset in seven days and seven nights.

Traditional is defined as a big orange ball clearly seen rising from or sinking below the horizon.

Perhaps this eighth morning at 7:13 AM.
