Glacier checklists day 2, work

packing light
Only these items, plus what i wear on the plane, for an 11-night trip to Glacier National Park. Plus, temps will be near freezing most mornings. Remarkable.

Merino wool is cleaned using fresh air. Anywhere from 14-30 days between soap and water washings. Travel hack for traveling light.

Whether walking slow or fast, there will almost always be frequent stops for vistas, incredible scenic beauty, wildlife, photos, water/snack breaks.

Speaking of snacks, we travel with two coolers in the rental vehicle. One for cold stuff. One for dry goods that attract chipmunks and mice that might stealthily get inside the rental. This happened once while we parked in Lake McDonald Lodge’s parking lot and then spent three nights seven miles away at Sperry Chalet.

Additionally, we…

  1. Wear layers.
  2. Gloves, warm hat for mornings and potential windchill, cap for sun block later.
  3. Carry bear spray.
  4. Carry plenty of water.
  5. Pack a lunch and snacks.
  6. Leave at o-dark hundred to secure trailhead parking.
  7. Aim to return to car by 1-3pm.
  8. And immediately start a mandatory hour of happiness.
  9. Breakfasts are grab-and-go type things from stuff in our room.
  10. Lunches we pack, often at trailhead, and enjoy on trail.
  11. Dinners, always a hotel or local restaurant.
  12. Evenings at Glacier Park Lodge are spent on a combination of balconies, in the lobby, or on the front lawn.

Glacier checklists, work

A stunning, unexpected, and 30-minute bear encounter.

Glacier checklists.

We (i) have them for us.

We have a routine, a process.

And yet we remain open to new learning and discovery.

In fact, we seek it out.

Special note: This would be a completely different checklist narrative if two things:

  1. We were both visiting the same first week. Same mountain legs and lungs adaptation needs.
  2. It wasn’t our final trip, but actually just another in a long line of accumulative visits.

Ya feel me?

Post titles brainstorm list, work

One of the chronic ‘feels like work’ blogging challenges are the six daily blog administrative requirements (tasks). Then multiply this five times per day. So six admin tasks become 30 daily admin tasks. Every. Single. Day. And all this doesn’t even mention the part about writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

  1. Blog titles
  2. Blog categories
  3. Blog tag words
  4. Embedding hyperlinks
  5. Photo (and/or video) selection, alt text, and captions
  6. Blog scheduling

If there was a simple, scalable way to do those six things five times per day, wow…

Because the writing is the easy part for me.

Now, back to today’s blog post title:

“Post titles brainstorm list, work”

  1. The seven summits, work
  2. Purpose
  3. Vision
  4. Mission
  5. Brand
  6. Content
  7. Style
  8. Motivation
  9. Your temple’s purpose, work
  10. Work goals
  11. Work motivation
  12. Work structure
  13. Work process
  14. Work ambition
  15. Work humility
  16. Work reality
  17. Work setbacks
  18. Work fun
  19. Work teamwork
  20. Work joy
  21. Work surrender
  22. Work teaching
  23. Work learning

Grace in accomplishments

i’m so glad for my long list of “i cannot believe i did that”.

And, exceptionally grateful there is no longer anything on the “i regret never doing that”.

.think .differently top 10 list:

Reflecting on some of the most .stupid (unconventional) choices made since launching Mid Life Celebration, LLC in 2009:

  1. Publishing first book with zero use of the word Disney.
  2. Never pursued a Disney Institute promotion, for 15 years.
  3. Privately worked six years building a business, while at Disney.
  4. Charge fees that rival the world’s best speakers.
  5. Display my Disney Keynote Speaking fees online.
  6. Insist on zero recording of any kind.
  7. Biggest lifetime speech was 1st time with zero slides.
  8. Kuwait TEDx Talk was iffy because red dot was not for me.
  9. Do not use slides.
  10. Do not wear business attire.
