I actually finished a project. But, there are a zillion more… Argh!
Organizing the day is not a simple matter.
Wandering minds in particular struggle with all of these.
Time-blindness, working memory troubles, injuries to agency, and a lack of trust between past, present, and future selves complicate matters to say the least.
One of the tools in the Waves of Focus methodology of engaging a wandering mind is called an Honor Guide.
The three main sections are:
- The Engaged – tracking my developing projects
- The Horizon – tracking a small handful of projects that I hope to reach next
- The Steady – tracking well established matters, holding them steady.
It seems simple. It is simple. But the practice is in developing the trust in the relationships between past, present, and future selves.
