Still thinking

I've been letting thoughts about what to write about float through my mind and out of my ears. I find this easiest to do when walking my dog. Seemingly great ideas pass through the open harbour of my mind and off out of sight by the time I get home. I think about taking a notebook with me to capture these ships of thought but it never gets past a thought into an action.

A format that has moored up (to continue the boat metaphor): a diary charting a specific idea or challenge. What challenge? Hmm, no household rubbish for a month, journaling/reflection, exercise regime, lifestyle regime, work productivity, single tasking/simplifying, vegetable growing, dog training, relationships, etc.etc.

My favourites so far:
  • container veg growing (flat dweller in a challenging geographical position)
  • exercise regime (lots of outdoor space, dog, gym & spa about 100m from my front door)
  • journaling (got a daily habit, this could be the 'meta' weekly habit, reflection on reflection)
  • single tasking as a philosophy (guilt factor of never doing enough ruins my equilibrium)

And so the thoughts sail on.....
