Disney creativity never gets old and never feels like work

Google map app
Yesterday was an “off” day for exercise, but the 3 mile walk was more than welcomed.

 

Love using Disney creativity (automatically)  to solve day to day challenges.

A short visit to Tire Kingdom for a minor repair was quoted at a 90-minute wait. Sit and wait in the lobby?

No.

Those 90 minutes allowed just enough time to walk three miles roundtrip to the allergist for bi-weekly injections.

Spring isn’t far away and you’ll start seeing people posting how miserable their sinus infections are making them feel.

Been there, done that (except Facebook didn’t exist back then).

This Spring, because of 14 years of injections, i’ll be breathing easy.

Exercise is great stimulation for creativity

Exercise is great stimulation for creativity.

Walt Disney played Polo, but no one ever described Walt as fit.

But his ability to inspire creativity in others was (and still is) remarkable.

At Disney, we think “Inside-The-Box”, not outside.

The thing about thinking outside the box is that most people, when they get outside of the box, they don’t know what they’re looking at because they have never built their box.

Dear son, use what i’ve taught you to build your box, and, think inside of it, not outside.

And every so often you’ll want to expand your box – to make it bigger – and having a well-defined box will facilitate this.

The four sides of your box are: vision, mission, brand, customer.

Exercising our creativity is critical

Walmart tire repair
Drove to Walmart to have tire repaired and walked 5k roundtrip to gym (worked out) while i waited.

 

Did the gym workout backwards yesterday; so the first exercise i did was what is normally done last, and what is normally first was last.

The week is structured for bicycling and gym on Mondays, Wednesdays,  and Fridays.

Since i missed Wednesday, Thursday became the makeup day.

Flex when you have to.

And find a million ways to stay motivated.

The alternative is creative excuses to miss.

Too many misses spell disaster.

Disney’s Continuous Improvement Process

Magic Kingdom stroller rental
Guests would rent a stroller and want to make a beeline to the very back corner of the park.

 

Disney’s continuous improvement process was called Guest Satisfaction Measurement in the 1990’s.

Today, it doesn’t have a name.

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.

 

50% is sometimes acceptable…

Felt like going longer, but out of time.

 

Grateful to get 40 minutes to run. Didn’t make time for a gym workout. Hotel gyms are usually inadequate if you aren’t doing cardio (and i wasn’t). So, 50% is sometimes acceptable…

But when it comes to leadership, 100% is the only acceptable standard.
