Does being organized and planning ahead make life easier or harder? Then why do so many people panic?
The WordPress Blogging Solution jeff noel chose was the easiest and most obvious – write and schedule posts to post ahead of time. In two weekends, jeff noel wrote all of March’s posts, totaling 155.
jungle jeff is absolutely a wellness fanatic. Most don’t realize this. Why would they realize it? Why should they?
I started with one push-up per day for a week and then each new week, add one more push-up per day. After six weeks, that’s six push-ups per day.
Also started running one mailbox per day for a week and then each new week added another mailbox. After six weeks, I was running past six mailboxes. Then walked back.
Through continuous improvement techniques learned at work (fortune 100 company), managed my boredom, injuries, motivation and goals – and after a decade, guess what happened this past Summer?
From one push-up per day ten years ago, to representing the USA at the WMA Master’s Track & Field World Championships in Lahti, Finland. Men’s 400 meters, 50 – 54 age group.
So, excellence can be attained in virtually anything, but you have to be willing to set an impossible goal, work incredibly hard and never give up. Ya with me?
People who know me, know that when I come to the fork in the road, I take it.
Seriously, of the many labels thrown my way – status quo, normal, conservative – these themes are not.
Like many people, healthy living is important and action is required. After a dreadful cholesterol report a decade ago, an exercise routine began:
One push up per day, for one week
Run one mailbox per day for one week
Second week, add one push up per day
Second week, add another mailbox per day
Third week, well, you get the picture
Now here we are, ten years later, by practicing what I preach, guess where that’s led?
The World Master’s Athletics (WMA) Track & Field World Championships in Lahti, Finland. Seriously.
Reporting live from Lahti, Finland, August 7, 2009. Make it a GREAT day. It’s up to you. If not today, when? Here’s to our health – carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
