over-focus – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

The closer to death, body

berries, nuts, avocado, cheese — Much of our focus and discipline is invisible to others. But it is never invisible to yourself.

The closer to you get to death, the less you care what others think about the way you stayed, or didn’t stay, healthy.

Why?

Because you’ll be dead soon and nothing will matter.

Morning water routine

red water bottle on a desk — This morning. Filled with water just waiting for me to enjoy. Hydration is a pervasively under-focused on health habit.

Every morning, i walk down the hall from our bedroom after waking and sit at my desk to begin the day.

My red water bottle always gets filled the night before and is waiting for me at the desk. No need to wait even a minute to start hydrating for the day. It could be 30 to 60 minutes before i go downstairs.

The over-focused process makes 5:00am-hydrating a daily ritual.

It’s a small, and kind, health gesture made to myself that compounds into other over-focused health habits and rituals.

Be good to yourself.

Honor the temple housing everything keeping you alive.

The next big goodbye

The Disney goodbye happened in 2014.

The next big goodbye will be blogging, 2025.

Only 16 days away.

Not feeling ready.

Finding solace though in knowing i can still write every day if i want to.

Guessing i’m gonna want to.

Keep .thinking .differently

Disney Cast Member only sign — Over-focused on the “Keep Out” message.

When people ask me how many Cast Members work at Disney, i reply, “On a good day, about half.”

Ps. That was a joke.

Insight: Thinking differently is what made the above ‘keep out’ sign kinda fun, and certainly not intimidating.

Over-focused travel, body

Texts from airline — Walked a few miles in Atlanta airport getting to Gate D12 and then back again to C34 due to gate change. Note: Decent turbulence while trying to circle in red with my finger on the phone.

Intentionally wearing running shoes that allow double duty. Walking, obviously. And also keynote speaking.

Why is this an intentional decision?

Because while dress shoes (generally) would look ‘nicer’, they’re hard to walk/hike in for seven miles.

Note: i do not have room to pack a second pair of shoes.
