As CEO, you have final say on your battle plan against fear.

There were some brief moments in the last 24 hours where fear wanted to enter my consciousness.

And this fear, i believe, would have been non-existent had i not been made aware of the possible implant-failure increased odds due to the eye’s structural degradation from two previous retina tear repair surgeries.

Inconvenient truth

Truth is, there may only be a handful of people who believe what i believe. Haven’t met any yet.

dad

Ps. And when i say “believe in what i believe in”, i mean who actually do the reps. Day in and day out. The whole “If Disney Ran Your Life” mindset.

Filters and criteria

Making decisions should be ridiculously easy.

dad

Intentionally hone your decision making matrix.

Why?

Two reasons:

  1. Reduce decision fatigue
  2. Make prioritized decisions

Nothing more required

As CEO of You, Inc, you get to make every final decision.

dad

Nothing more required.

That’s what i tell myself after 15 years.

Dude, the world record is 17,212.

After publishing over 10,000 more posts than the world record, you know what?

The question is now, “What do you want to do with your remaining days?”

Have been asking what would mornings (or in recent years, afternoons) look like with an extra two hours not devoted to writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Simultaneously, a fair question to ask is how much is enough?

Seriously, 15 years, well over 27,000 blog posts.

By the way, my published blog post total is more than 10,000 posts over the “official” world record of 17,212.
