Unencumbered (reprise)

Some people can run their business from an iPhone, unencumbered by physicality and overhead. Photo: iPhone screen shot. A rare moment when my battery gets below 50% (upper right).

 

Unencumbered (reprise).

Too much drag from our disorganized paperwork of life causes our effectiveness and efficiency to tank.

This most likely becomes an overwhelming obstacle.

Overwhelming and impossible are not the same thing.

The eve of New Year’s eve, December 30, 2015.

The 14th anniversary of the last day i drank alcohol.

So tomorrow, December 31 (the “real” New Year’s Eve) is the 14th anniversary of the first sober New Year’s Eve in the previous 28 or so.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Apple makes old habits irrelevant

Helping others become more organized has a ripple effect into life’s other four big choices. If you use paper organizational systems, you are missing the boat. Not meant to inflict guilt, but if you feel guilt, ask yourself why.

Then decide to live with the the guilt or resolve to shed it.

Henry Ford was never interested in creating a faster horse.

One little phone call at the perfect time

Family Christmas photo
i worked the iPhone self-timer to take this.

 

Perhaps what was the most special was seeing, and feeling, how much everyone enjoyed each other’s company. If there was an individual highlight, it was my Mom calling my (same age) cousin Randy in California.

Randy has been going through a life-changing rehabilitation and is coming out the other end a truly changed person. We passed the phone around to everyone in the photo so he had “one-on-one” time with each. He loved it, and wrote on Facebook:

“just got a phone call from this awesome group, better known as my family, can’t think of a more heartfelt call ever, thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
