Over-focused travel, mind

In flight to Atlanta now and wondering if i’ll have to go outside in the next four days.

Intentionally booked a mid-morning flight. This allows me to wake up like normal, with decent odds of eight hours sleep.

A 7am flight requires an extra-early wake up. This removes an 8-hour sleep off the table.

Intentionally booked a two+ hour layover. Why? This allows a buffer for flight delay challenges.

Blank business canvas

Disney University lobby. A few days after returning home from Kuwait in 2019. Was there to deliver a TEDx Talk — “Why going the extra mile is a flawed concept, and what to do instead”.
48-second video: This is an experiment. Going into it knowing it may not work.

Today’s posts are to help unpack an idea. This idea is also a challenge needing a creative, simple solution.

Hoping my simple, creative idea gains traction and goes better than i envision. Here we go…

This post is helping me think out loud. Seeing ideas and thoughts on paper (screen) is my preferred method. This is also known as writing.

Professionally, i’m excellent at two things.

i need to be excellent at three.

The one i’m not good at is what i’m brainstorming (writing about) today.

Sales.

Personally exploit Disney business wisdom

Personally exploit Disney business wisdom in your private life.

What?

Take dates, milestones, anniversaries, launches, holidays, and so on.

That’s what i did yesterday, April Fools Day.

There’s a story around me being a fool to think i could write five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days. My previous goal for 5-a-day writing was two consecutive days.

Yet accomplishing that goal would provide much needed writing practice to write my first book.

And part of the narrative is how two previous, “No, this time i really mean it” writing attempts failed miserably.

And then there’s retiring from Disney on Halloween so i could say, “After 30 years at Disney, it was really scary to leave.”

Also intentionally chose December 31 (the biggest drinking day in the world) over January 1st to quit drinking. By the way, that was also my third, “No this time i’m really going to quit.”
