The way at work

Homeowner driveway framed before concrete pour
The three-plus-decade wait for a paved driveway is about to end. Patience is a leadership asset.

The way at work is simple: over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. Become intentional with everything.

Become intentional with taking the long way as your shortcut.

Become intentional honing your habits by design, not default.

What naturally happens at work

To become and stay excellent is the definition of world class.

Only three things happen naturally at work (in careers): Need, anxiety, and a rut so deep you can’t climb out. Everything else takes a growth mindset.

Work vibrancy is easier with a growth mindset: intentionally over-focusing on becoming an artist in a way that your younger self under-focused on or ignored.

Panic versus over-focus

Disney stock price
Wow, what a drop from $150+ a month ago. Up to $102 the next day (Friday, March 13).

Panic versus over-focus.

Whether it’s the impending Covid-19 spike or the stock market crash, panicking serves no one.

When you are as healthy as you can be physically (Covid-19) and financially, you position yourself to be the last to feel catastrophe’s effects and the first to recover.

Like the Three Little Pigs, diligently and prudently build your house with stone.

Organize to maximize your creativity

If Disney Ran Your Life podcast ideas
If Disney Ran Your Life podcast ideas for today’s recording session with Jody Maberry.

Organize to maximize your creativity.

Today’s If Disney Ran Your Life podcast episode recordings are:

  1. Planning
  2. Over-focus

These are similar yet different enough to be two separate episodes. You can plan to over-focus. You can over-focus on your planning.

But it is difficult to plan well if you don’t over-focus; learning to be intentionally over-focused on the same things you used to (unintentionally) under-focus on or ignore.

We are not born organized. We learn (or don’t learn) to be organized. Planning and organized are synonymous.

Over-focus is my hypothesis

Disney Business insight
Twitter, yesterday. It’s unclear whether Disney Institute condones this image being public.
Disney Business insight
There’s a school of thought that says, “Give away your best content for free.”

Over-focus is my hypothesis…

Over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.
