Look away

Disney Business Books author jeff noel — Write like you mean it either means it’s something you actually do, or it’s a theory for “someday”.

You will find your solution to staying active, if you are willing to look where you haven’t yet looked.

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.

Do we need to push harder and more creatively?

Disney World's Textile Services Hotel laundry plant — Arguably one of the most mission critical operations at Walt Disney World, the Resort Hotel laundry plant.

Do we need to push harder and more creatively?

Sent a local executive an email yesterday (Saturday) with a sole purpose – to gently “push” him to reconsider his postponement of a two-day leadership engagement.

Waiting until the new year “when current workload should subside” would be better, right?

Just like the current work load was unexpected, this is likely to keep happening and January could get pushed back to Spring. And so it goes.

By the way i respect what he did.

But here’s the underlying life truth, there’s rarely a better time than now.

What about Family members, people we love and cherish, should we push them or do we hope that after decades of physical neglect they’ll magically find the time?

Compromise is the only option sometimes

Apple watch running app — Inching my way back, about 1/4 mile each week.

Abdominal incline bench — This is harder than it looks, and i love it.

So the indefinite vacation from running lasted about two months, roughly until school let out around June 1. Since then, i became our son’s running partner. All Summer long we ran with the Windermere Runner’s Club two mornings a week at the high school. The other three days, we ran from home: not much running to speak of, and this is why i got back into running – it was easy running and our son needed the support, guidance, and encouragement.

The beauty of unpredictability

The beauty of unpredictability.

It can crush us or it can push us to become better.

The road to excellence has no finish line.

Always make the choice to find opportunity in adversity.

Always.

Felt the real issue was going to be price. Apparently from my inside source, it’s not. Very cool, this is great news.

Didn’t see that one coming.

Early is on time and yields decent benefits

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Lobby — i remember when a Front Desk Cast Member had the idea to experiment with this concept; a children’s only waiting area with themed seating and Disney movies playing.

To arrive on time (10 minutes early is the standard) for a 7am meeting, i cancelled my morning exercise. It happens.

Arriving 15 minutes early allowed me to talk to a friend and Cast Member (with 41 years at Walt Disney World). Shafe (that’s his real name) and i worked together at three Disney Resort properties: Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

The break from exercise was also welcomed because of an exceptionally long day of gardening the day before.
