Time well wasted

Brad Paisley album cover
Paradox of ‘wasted time’.

i will waste my time with you and Mom all day long.

Amazing what a day outside, a cooking fire, and New Year’s Eve can inspire you to think about.

One day can add up

Beware of bear sign
Some are freaked out. Some are excited. i’ve been both.

Looking back, you can easily see how timeless truths play out in your life. Truths that meant nothing to you for decades.

One day at a time can transform you positively and negatively.

With a positive focus, here are some of mine:

  • Blogging
  • Drinking (quitting)
  • Pushups
  • Running one mailbox a day
  • After school hug
  • Book publishing

Exterior style, landscaping, interior style

Thick clouds hugging a mountain
Mt Oberlin, my favorite summit because of its ease to access and ease to summit. Photo: Taken from Granite Park Chalet, miles away. Was struck by the constant cloud movement. The clouds moved from right to left but never disappeared. Guessing a Westerly moving cloud system was colliding with an Easterly moving air stream.

Focus and discipline are legendary leadership superpowers.

  1. Process Mapping: Need a small (2-4) “Emotional Connection” team with an accountability leader. Brainstorm customer touch points, pick one, compare two lists—meets & exceeds expectations, try something. Launch, learn, revise. Repeat.

Out of office alert at work

mountains and lake
Jody Maberry texted this photo to me last night and asked, “Do you know where this is?” “Yes, Mt. Wilbur looking down on Iceberg Lake. Ahern Pass is on the other side of the far wall.” What i didn’t share is my suspicion it’s from Google Earth, not a climber’s camera. Why? Wilbur is notoriously dangerous to climb.

Racing through your days takes your focus off life’s small details.

Out of office alert at work…

What’s a simple, scalable way to add simplicity and scalability to every Galen Customer detail?

Use three well-known tools:

  1. Questions
  2. Paradox
  3. Common sense

A few examples:

Can you imagine how Galen looks in our Customer’s eyes when everyone at Galen has a professional, intentional, Galen-difference in something so seemingly insignificant?

What does the customer think and feel when all their questions are answered in a Galenized presentation?

What message is sent to all stakeholders in Galen’s ecosystem about attention to the smallest of details, to trust, to excellence?

Daily art is a thing?

The moon in the early evening
Yesterday’s full moon rising. Surprised the iPhone 15 Pro Max doesn’t capture the Moon’s details. But grateful to see it all with my own eyes. A camera is simply a bonus.

If you can live presently, you will see art everywhere.

Even the wind (or no wind) is art.

The way Nature dances in the wind. The way it rests in stillness.

Even the shadows dance, or rest.

So cool.
