Does 9 extra minutes matter?

First run yesterday.
Second run yesterday.

Does 9 extra minutes matter?

Picture the typical 5am iPhone birds chirping wake up sound.

For the first time in a long time, i hit the snooze on my iPhone.

It’s Saturday and i wanted to experiment with how it felt.

Odds are high i’ll go the rest of the year (7 months) without hitting snooze.

Son, this is an extraordinary gift for being free from a chronic lack of sleep.

Early to bed and early to rise

Yesterday’s first run.

Early to bed and early to rise make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. – Ben Franklin

Son, wisdom usually goes in one ear and out the other in our youth. You have the opportunity to be an exception to this rule because your parents raised you in their 40’s and 50’s.

Active rest to the rescue

Persian Gulf in Kuwait
Persian Gulf is outside our room, just past the pool.

Active rest to the rescue.

While i didn’t need to exercise formally yesterday, a Saturday, it was tempting to want to.

The lack of sleep and a busy event schedule was all i needed to let it go.

Casually brainstorming more intentional rest

1988 Disney World Disney Traditions team
1988 (not 1986 as listed) Disney World Disney Traditions team outside Disney University. We work while others play…nights, weekends, holidays. PS. That’s me, back row, far left.

Inspired by Rob’s personal practice to observe the Sabbath, a day of rest, so consistently, that i’m casually brainstorming how to do it.

The approach is familiar: decide what you want to do differently, why you want it to be different, and how you can plan and attack the changes required to begin, maintain and improve.

Today is Sunday, “a day of rest”.

It’s probable that i’ll spend today like every Sunday, which generally includes some work on my business.

What would it take to not do that anymore?

The beauty of a decent night’s rest

Employee engagement speakers
Employee engagement speakers? No. Props to remind me to thank the people who made yesterday’s event (and my success) possible.

Employee engagement speakers
(L-R) Mark is with Robert Half, Jungle Jeff, and Esteban who is a Speakers Consultant with Thinking Heads (my new and exclusive booking agent).

Employee engagement speakers
In this photo, we had just met personally the previous day. Prior to yesterday, we had spoken briefly via Whatsapp and email.

Employee engagement speakers
My client’s boss Ramon, the CEO of Trabajando.com Chile.

Got nearly 8 hours of sleep last night in the Delta One cabin.

Heavenly.

Restful.

Woke up a few minutes ago.

Pushed the button to convert the bed into a chair.

Easy peasy.

Writing this from 35k feet.

The night before in Santiago, Chile’s W Hotel, got about 5 hours.

Not enough but it was such better quality because i was flat on a bed.
