Discipline at home

Biking up the Continental Divide to the Mountain Pass. No cars. Few humans.

Discipline at home is creating habits you love by doing things you used to hate.

Seek out your soulmate and create a lifelong commitment.

Prioritizing your priorities.

Creating excellent home-organizational structure and processes.

Reduce and/or eliminate decision-fatigue.

Make your home your favorite place on the planet.

Live within your means.

Plan for your death.

Die with no regrets.

Dwell well

Can’t recall this image’s origin. The four words are gold. Wise.

What is your way?

Using home as an escape and refuge from work?

Using home as your energy and inspiration source?

Over-focus on putting your personal priorities in priority order.

Make you home your favorite place in the world.

Live

Child in a big yard behind a house
Maybe 2004-ish. First photo with our new Sony Cyber-shot pocket camera. A lifetime with 35mm SLR cameras, done. Never looked back. Never regretted. It unknowingly prepared us for the iPhone.

You can watch your life. You can participate in your life. You can lead your life.

All three options are symbolically different.

Victim. Ordinary. Vibrancy.

The truth hurts. The truth frees.

Pain or freedom?

Choosing is easy in theory.

Choosing is also easy in reality.

What?

If you think the price of discipline is high, wait until you get the bill for regret.

Bonus, a powerful music video.

Suffering at home

4-second video: Finished packing a week in advance.

Suffering at home?

When home is transactional, everyone suffers.

Going through the motions.

Keeping up with the neighbors.

Auto-pilot.

Safe.

Status quo.

Don’t.

Do.

It.

Prioritize your priorities.

Know what they are, in priority order, and teach them to the people you love.

You’re welcome.

Add then subtract

Add then subtract.

For knowledge, add.

For wisdom, subtract.

Only from chronic adding does habitual subtracting become wise.
