Mentally at Sea all day today, heading to Cozumel

Mentally at Sea all day today, heading to Cozumel.

Yesterday, we boarded the Disney Fantasy cruise ship.

We will do most things together this week.

Seven nights at sea.

Relax together.

Explore together.

Exercise together.

Have fun together.

Be entertained together.

Think about 2018 together.

PS. The one solo thing i’ll do all week is write like i mean it.

Mentally heading out for a Disney Cruise this morning

Disney Business author jeff noel — Writing Disney Books at Disney.

On a whim two Thanksgivings ago in 2016, we booked a last minute Disney Cruise.

Same thing this year, except it’s for seven nights, not three.

December 16-23.

Western Caribbean.

Expecting to enjoy writing again from the Disney Fantasy.

Membership has its privileges.

What?

A lifetime commitment to something comes with perks.

Take a positive attitude for example, or 30+ years as a Cast Member.

First Principles Thinking – irrefutable truth?

Every once in awhile, the Universe offers you a clue that something you came up with on your own is actually something rare, and valuable.

Yesterday’s email included the daily dose of Hugh McLeod at Gaping Void Art.

It was a link in Hugh’s daily message that led to the screen shot coming up…

In the center of the screen shot below is the word-for-word phrase i use to tell others what’s different about my Disney Approach.

Deconstruct then reconstruct.

i’ve spent my life deconstructing Disney’s DNA and reconstructing it in brilliantly simplistic fashion.

Disney Keynote Speakers — This is the way i describe what 30 years at Disney, especially the last 15 teaching at Disney Institute has allowed me to make my life’s work.

First principles thinking is about deconstructing what looks complex and then reconstructing it in a simple breakdown of reality – let’s call it irrefutable truth.

It is done

It is done.

Finally.

Over the weekend, went back in and re-wrote 200+- blog posts to fill in the calendar count gaps on the five main Mid Life Celebration websites.

Why was there a gap?

When i began blogging in 2008 – and particularly when i began writing five daily, differently-themed posts in April 2009 – Disney and Disney Institute didn’t have a social media policy.

The word on the street was, “Use good judgment”.

Never knowing i’d be blogging past the 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp, i found myself with thousands of posts a few years later.

Eventually, we had an ambiguous (in my opinion) social media policy.

What if a leader subjectively said i crossed a line?

i rewrote many posts and some were too challenging to rewrite so i simply deleted them – roughly 200 posts gone, permanently.
