Adult learners are easily bored and distracted

Executive audience jeff noel
Touched more lives here than anywhere else during 15 years with Disney Institute.

 

Audience with hands raised
Having fun. Adult learners are easily bored and distracted. i have a millions ways to ensure it never happens.

 

i always tried to run before heading to the venue. Often, it was freezing outside. Over the years, i learned to plan my rest days for that week to coincide with the teaching days at University of Iowa.

i also plan my speeches to be full of interaction and state changes.

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.

 

First skipped workout in a long time

First skipped workout in a long time. And it’s intentional.

Had an all day full-body gardening workout yesterday.

Not sore with stiffness, but sore as in tired muscle groups, all of them. Rest is a good choice today.

To deny this feels unnatural

To deny this feels unnatural.

How’s the daily routine?

A daily, regular and intentional bedtime?

A daily, regular and intentional rise-and-shine time?

Health benefits that pay long-term dividends.

The ability to awaken without hitting the snooze?

The excitement for the gift of another day?

Of course this isn’t possible everyday. Life happens. But fight, daily, to create and sustain a healthy daily routine.

Otherwise we’ll be fighting daily to compensate for an unhealthy daily routine.

Scheduling a week of active rest

Allegiant boarding pass
Last night.

 

Scheduling a week of active rest.

Leaving the house in 20 minutes (at 4:45am) to catch a flight to Allentown, PA.

Not only have i decided to stop running indefinitely, but i’m also using the trip to coincide with one-week complete rest.

Resting the body but not the mind

Card game
Yesterday, like every Sunday afternoon, was spent at Kissimmee’s Coliseum of Comics.

 

While our Son enjoyed the YuGiOh tournament, i worked.

Organized our tax paperwork, school health forms, and a set of questions for a business solicitation.

Weekends are reserved for physical rest, yet the mind often gets an intense workout.

Balance is relative, and revolves around energy distribution, not time equity.
