Being organized helps you recover from unexpected changes

Homemade Airline seat chart
Seating for five of us on one of this Summer’s Glacier National Park trips. This is what United was able to rearrange for the return flights – much better then before the call.

 

Being organized helps you recover from unexpected changes.

Went to add a fifth passenger to our trip itinerary and panicked.

Our return flight wasn’t available for Skylar.

Why?

Because the return flight from Kalispell, MT to Orlando, FL through Denver had changed – without notice.

Now, we don’t fly from Kalispell to Denver to Orlando. It’s been changed and has an added leg from Denver to Chicago and then on home to Orlando.

Our seats had been mismanaged from the original plan. A long call to United to request our seats be together like i had originally booked and it got sorted out pretty well.

Rather than be angry about the extra time and effort required on the return trip, i surrendered to the fact that we can afford the trip, etc, etc.

If it’s not on the test…

aging and staying active
Taking care of the temple that houses everything keeping you alive…your body. If you think honing healthy habits isn’t important in your youth, good luck with it as you age. Be organized or be overwhelmed.

 

Helping a 17-year old navigate and learn life-skills not taught in school.

What a privilege.

What a challenge.

What an opportunity for a 17-year old.

Likely a teen, if they can’t see it (the incalculable value), they aren’t interested nor motivated to learn.

If it’s not on the test…

Well, it is on the test.

But the test won’t come for years, even decades from today.

Happy New Day.

 

Happy New Day.

Today is a gift.

i’ve found it’s difficult to appreciate a new day when i am overwhelmed by not being organized enough.

And conversely, i’ve discovered how amazing the gift of an ordinary day is when you are decently organized.

Wishing you the best today.

Who is this crazy, determined person?

Who is this crazy, determined person?

Oh, that would be an entrepreneur.

A person who takes on greater than normal risk.

Understatement of the year, right?

Do the risky and opposite if you want to be amazing

college search process
How? It’s safe to follow the tried and true advice. Now ask yourself, “How did my college dining hall experience amaze me?”

 

i’m proposing High Schoolers begin their right-fit college search using “Best College Cafeterias in the Country“.

Organize your time and energy around quality of life, starting with food.

If a University can nail their dining hall experience, when so many others can’t, think of the odds of them getting many other things right also.

Here’s the thing, what happens when you share this strategy with anyone involved in the college admissions process?

Be bold.

Go.
