Bubba; changing little things about ourselves is simply the #1 hardest thing to accomplish in life; hands down; period.
routine; organization & keeping it humble; the holy grail of everything in life; IMO. routine = stability = hemostasis/balance
I used to get paid for developing protocols; solving problems; make systems work; monitor; oversight; it's what I did for a living. It's what I traveled the country doing; aka
managing controlled chaos (usually disgruntled grumpy people)
. managing what can/does go wrong; ect... (and not over-reacting)
It's a big part of who I've become in this world. I'm good at it

Back to what I was saying; routine; so much in life is about routine;
developing failsafe protocols. Before time gets crunched; develop
basic fundamentals; write them down if need be; or put it up on the fridge so you don't miss it;
do walk though morning/night; dedicate <5 min to routine; no matter what. I'm sure your doing much of this already; Many times "potential problems" are sitting before us and we simply cannot see past something. (mental block/focus on something else/too busy/distractions/ect.) Sometimes fresh eyes are all that's needed; or peer review; ect... Developing protocols;
so shit doesn't happen again. Or adhering to strict protocols (routines) for managing ongoing problems...
I've got tremendous respect for what your doing here; cause I see/add up the work/hours being toiled.
@BudGoodman He's a maniac; balances caring for his horses/livestock/pets; a wife; a working farm; he's such a well oiled machine.
But it really helps when your doing something that's a true love; it shows.
Routines; protocols; evaluation; When that fails; fall back to; re-assessment; diagnosis; planning; and new-implementations... round and round it goes; until problem is SOLVED.. (problems are never solved). I think peer review/inspection of the ugly is at minimum; a learning experience for everyone involved here; I wish we talked about it more. But for some; it's a touchy; uncomfortable; sensitive subject.
