The early bird gets the worm

We love our seniors sign
Rode bicycle to High School and saw this on the way to park the bike.

The early bird gets the worm.

Arriving early to appointments provides advantages and bonuses unknown to just-in-time or late arrivals.

i learned this the hard way and so late in life that the missed opportunities will never be known.

Better late than never.

Better early than late.

Yesterday two parents had opportunities to leisurely socialize with multiple people. Quality time is the common name given to these interactions.

Applying early arrival to life, when you get stimulating exercise before most of the world wakes up, you have modeled “early arrival” to your personal health.

Get one in the win column four or five days a week and you significantly contribute to personal vibrancy.

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.

Give anxious children a place to be delightfully distracted until the adults check in and get the room keys. Original area is next to Front Desk (in background).

It was so successful, a second child area was created.

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.
