When This Is Over, You’ll Miss It
It could be a holiday, work assignment, kid’s project, DIY work on your home, a contract role or a celebration. You may be feeling uncomfortable and can’t wait for it to end. But, when it is over, you’ll miss it.
You’ll miss the energy, comraderie, purpose, teamwork and excitement. The buzz and deadlines will be longed for too.
So savour every minute. For this too shall pass.

File Fast And Well
Touch paper once if you can. Deal with things the week they arrive. Don’t let things pile up. But if you do, bite the bullet and set aside time that month to get back on top of things.
File things properly. Do it fast. Then it’s easy to find later. And it’s off the floor, desk, counter, table, etc.
Have a good filing system. Have any to start. Then improve it.
Get on top of your admin. You can thank me later.

Heck Yes Or Hard No
This is a great way to decide whether you do things in life. If you are not delighted and shout out ’Heck yes’ at the mere mention of something, then it may not be worth your piece of life to do it.
In that case, make it a hard no.
Of course sometimes you’ll be required to do things that don’t excite you and bring joy. But when you have the choice and the decision is yours, live your life in the ‘Heck yes!’ zone.
Imagine that life! Heck Yes!!!

The New CCTV
Phone, Dashcam or doorbell camera footage are what our local police ask for to help resolve situations in our community.
30 years ago, none of these were an option. They were not even an idea.
Now they are quite common place. Hopefully they encourage people to be better citizens, take their time and be patient with others.

Set Up Your Life To Win
What one thing could you do differently, starting today, that could make a nice difference in your life?
What could you eliminate from your day? Or what could you adjust to make the outcome you want more likely?
Don’t buy sugary or salty snacks or treats and keep them in the house. Keep cherry tomatoes and hummus instead. When you think you are hungry, pour a cool glass of water. Set your morning wake up bell to 15 minutes earlier and then get up and do 30 push ups and sit ups.
Get things ready now or in the evening before bed so it is easier to make the changes happen tomorrow.
Each time you set up your environment to win, your future self smiles and remembers how clever you are. That’s a nice feeling.

Timing Helps
Having the right timing can be very beneficial. Near misses are based on beneficial timing. Impact and accidents tend to be unfortunate timing.
Some timing elements you can predict. For example, being late to an interview is rarely going to provide a good outcome.
You can force timing, but it doesn’t always work out well. Agree timings. Then allow plenty of time to arrive early. Enjoy the feeling of calm as you arrive with time to spare.

Early To Bed
What does that mean to you? Does it mean a certain time? Is it a silly idea that you can’t take seriously?
Could you go to bed at 6pm and be comfortable with that?
Would you have to be quite unwell? Or could you decide on a whim that you needed some extra rest and simply get yourself to bed? Or are you a wake-up-late-only-option kind of person? Have a think about how you see time and sleep. It may be revealing or surprising. Goodnight.

Just One More, Can Create Challenges
Whether it’s a cookie, drink or one more ski run, just one more can change things.
The cookie can add to unwanted weight. The drink might having you feeling more tired in the morning. And the extra ski run might make you miss your connection back to your mountain base.
Know when to be grateful and satisfied. You’ll appreciate what came before even more.

Sauna, Steam Room, Hot Tub And Chill Pool
I love a sauna. Always have. These were mainly après-ski activities as a kid and teen.
These later became part of an annual spa tradition my wife and I indulge in. 10 minutes hot, then 1 minute cold. Repeat a few times. Shower. Dry off in the warm air on a lounger or hammock, in front of a crackling fire. Then read and drift off to sleep.
It’s amazing. Swimming in the river is nice too. Contact me for location details if you like. Two days and you’re a new person. Indulge.
