That’s a good idea. The “what am I doing with myself?” area is in such a state of flux right now, this sounds like a useful exercise, for both of us.

Sue has given me an interesting assignment in the past which might have some relevance for you. The assignment is to write down in as much detail as possible what you would do on your ideal work day. Start with waking up, including what time you wake up. How do you feel as you get out of bed? What things are you thinking about? Then move through your day and describe everything you can – what you’re wearing, the people you interact with, your physical surroundings, what are you doing, what are you thinking about, etc. It’s a very informative thing to do. In fact, I think I should revisit this assignment myself.

You know, I often don’t answer my phone. And no one really asks me why… except Tom. Not that I think you should get one if you don’t want one. Just saying, they aren’t ALL evil. )

Howdy! Lots going on, and lots getting done. I won’t comment too much, because my daily posts pretty much sum it up: “No Plan” just leads to nowhere. Despite my disdain for structure and walls, I’m realizing I should not entirely eschew the concept of goals and some loose planning.

Hey Paul, it’s great to see you writing here again! It sounds like there’s a lot going on in your head these days. The next time I make it up there, we really need to make a point of having some coffee (it will be social so not against the rules, right?) and conversation.
