mindfulness, mental noting'
duus | Mar 16 2006
the last point in http://www.43folders.com/2006/03/15/email-dash/ is making *me* more aware of the importance of awareness or mindfulness. I've noticed "mindfulness" sneaking into Merlin's posts more and more. An interesting idea: the zencast has been mentioned on 43Folders before. one interesting zencast about mindfulness is here: http://amberstar.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=43433 it's called "mental noting" which is about the practice of assigning a word to each experience as it occurs, to keep the mind observant and (I'll say it) mindful. For people like me, for whom life is a constant war against the buzzing of bees in my head, it's been a useful practice. 7 Comments

I really like that idea duus--particularly in giving reasons for why you want to get something done. It seems like that would provide motivation that a sterile to-do list wouldn't. It would also be useful in those all too frequent cases where I come across notes I've written to myself to do things like "Look up hairs on bumblebees" and can't remember why--for the life of me--I wanted to know about bumblebee hair. » POSTED IN:
