When does your workday begin?

Yesterday, 6am on the way home.

 

The workday begins the night before.

For example, yesterday:

  • 4:40am – awaken
  • 5:00am – drive to airport
  • 6:00am – drop off Cheryl, drive home
  • 7:00am – begin 5-mile run
  • 8:00am – drive son to school
  • 8:30am – Gold’s Gym core & strength workout
  • 9:30am – drive home, pickup office supplies on the way
  • 10:15am – dip in the pool
  • 10:25am – brunch
  • 11:00am – read, email, social media, write, work
  • 1:30pm – drive to physical therapist for evaluation
  • 3:15pm – client call to Hawai’i
  • 4:15pm – pickup son at school
  • 4:30pm – Twistee Treat drive-thru for ice cream on drive home
  • 4:45pm – Grocery store for frozen pizza
  • 5:15pm – Dinner for two
  • 5:45pm – free time in family room
  • 9:00pm – bedtime
  • 9:30pm – lights out

The only audible for the day was picking up the frozen pizza.

Not everyday is this structured. But everyday is structured with a plan determined the night before.

The joy of being the boss

Pope Francis

 

(photo: A surprise, and astonishingly brave and inspiring speech just three days before Christmas: Calling out the hypocrisy on the vatican Cardinals.)

First Christmas in 30 years where there are no worries about getting time off to spend with Family.

The responsibility of being self-employed hasn’t fully sunk in.

But the joy of being the boss has.

You don’t realize the weight (of corporate tradition) until it’s gone.

Time will tell. It always does.

WordPress Orlando Meetup

 

(photo: Only half of those RSVP-ing yes actually showed up at yesterday’s Orlando WordPress Meetup)

What does it mean when we say, “Time will tell?”

WordCamp Orlando in less than two months away. They are looking for a few more speakers.

It’s highly likely they’ve never had a world class professional keynote speaker at any of their meetings.

Ever.

Makes sense.

The people speaking are developers, programmers, and creative geniuses. They are not speakers.

Maybe they could use a speaker on how to enhance speaking skills.

Or maybe a speaker on how to dream impossible dreams.

After four years attending WordPress Orlando Meetups, maybe there will soon be an opportunity to give back.

Time will tell.

Same thing will happen again in 24 hours

 

When we habitually watch the clock at work, wishing time would go by faster, we are surviving.

When we look at the clock and worry that we don’t have enough time, we are thriving.

When we no longer have a need for a clock, we have perfected the art of living and working.

Lofty? Of course.

Impossible? Depends on the person.
