People seem to have an obsession with lists these days. Things that can be easily turned into metrics, and then ticked off, one at a time, so at the end of the task we get a mini feeling of completion. I do it at work all the time. In fact, I do it everywhere.
Fix bike. Check
Buy new shoe-laces. Check
Go to the gym. Check
Socialise with friends. Check
Eat. Breath. Sleep. Check.
It's got to a point where our lives are just a series of hoops to jump through. Digital binaries: complete or not complete. Is this all there is nowadays?
Yes, lists have their place, they're a useful tool for articulating our goals and plans. But we start becoming owned by the list. And therein lies the problem.
We need to re-instate our ownership over The List again. We need to remind ourselves to enjoy the journey, not the destination. Because even if we are able to finally tick those tasks off, we miss something vital if all we look forward to is crossing it out.
Often the ideas in our heads start off as unfocused images. As we continue to study ours thoughts, things come into view. The ideas start getting crystallized out from the melt. The nebulous starts becoming solid. This blog contains those thoughts as they develop and become planets in my mind.
