Implementing a new life skill


This morning I created five blog posts in my head, and that was just before breakfast. Ideas seem to come so fast at times that I can miss them as new thoughts fire up and leave me missing the previous three. I think that we’re all like that once we get going.

So here’s a new life skill that I’m starting to implement:

Before I go to Facebook, Twitter or any other number of time consuming websites, I have to do, make, construct or produce something creative. It’s not that those sites don’t give me inspiration, knowledge and thrill, they do, they enrich and stimulate how I feel, but if that’s all I’m doing I’ve missed the creative angle and a vital piece of the puzzle.

You see, I now think we have to create, I think it’s who we are and how we change the world, our world.

It’s a flip!

It used to be research first create later, but that’s just too risky a move. I’ve ended up researching till the cows come home and we have no cows.

Now it’s create now research later.

That way the work gets done.
