So, someone asked recently if I'd share a "slice of the life" of Jason. I thought I'd share a somewhat typical day.one that happened just last week:
4:30am (CDT) : up, shower, cab to New Orleans airport
7:00am-8:00am : fly to Dallas (slept most of the flight)
8:00am-9:15am : switched terminals, found lunch for the next flight (sandwich, salad, bottled water, muffin, banana, fruit cup)
9:15am-11:00am : fly to LAX (wrote thank you cards, got e-mail down to zero, processed in-box, completed expense reporting, read Newsweek and Scientific American Mind magazines, watched one of "The Great Courses" (from www.teach12.com ) on anatomy and physiology, worked on a client proposal)
11:00am-12:00pm (PDT) : landed safely, replicated e-mail, got luggage, called The Parking Spot, started the 2-hour drive home
12:00-2:00pm : drive up Highway 1 (one of my favorites!) to Ojai. Listened to Lou Tice (www.loutice.com ) on the way. Called several people on my calls list.
2:00pm-3:45pm : home to see Jodi and Zuma. Unpacked, started laundry, repacked for the next trip (in 36 hours!), walked around the garden and caught up on two days of stories.
4:00pm-5:30pm : went to the gym (spin class) did a little bit of stretching, and some weights
5:30pm-6:00pm : stopped at the store, picked up food for dinner, when home and started cooking
After that.it was dinner, some more conversation, some "show and tell" with pictures I took in New Orleans, a little bit of TV, and in bed by 10pm. (I knew we were getting up early the next morning for a 30-mile bike ride!)
That's a snapshot.I highly recommend, if you have not done it yet, that you bring a note card around with you one day and just "log it." I'm always surprised by how much I am engaged with on a daily basis!
