Sleep is the new coffee

Cinderella Castle clock
Time waits for no one.

 

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?

Arriving home late is not worth it

Airport departure sign
Note time in upper right corner. Third flight from top is ours.

 

An alarm chiming at 3:30am in Montana is the price paid for a decent arrival time in Orlando. The 20-minute drive to Kalispel airport and an easy rental car return process made it undemanding to arrive early for a 6:15am wheels up.

PS. Note to self for posterity: 08.06 Saturday fly home 730am

The older you become the more challenging it is to do new things. The antidote, it seems to me, is to substitute quality for quantity.

Note to self for posterity: 08.03 Wednesday…8am drive to Canada/Waterton Park. Chief Mountain. Prince of Wales Hotel. Lunch in Waterton. Saw a bear at Prince of Wales driveway. Dinner at Two Dog Flats. Drove to Two Dog Flats to look for bear. Saw one at 8pm. Good pics.

Vibrancy comes down to one of two lifelong habits

Windermere Runners Club 2016
Between Middle & High School, roughly 700 students. About 20 show up for Summer running.

 

Vibrancy comes down to one of two lifelong habits:

  1. Prioritizing our schedule.
  2. Scheduling our priorities.

This is true in our personal life as well as professionally.

The first habit happens by default, the second, by design.

Think about it.

The distinct outcome in the difference between the habits we nurture or don’t nurture – the contrast between surviving the daily grind or thriving in spite of it.
