Back to Berlin
I’m planning to go back to Berlin in October for the Web2.0 Expo and since I’m going to be there, I thought I might as well also slip along to the Berlin Barcamp which is happening in the weekend before. Alles gut! Last year when I was there, I was talking about some bonkers idea…
Money #1
One of the big lessons I learned this year from fundraising is not to rely on *anything* at all until it's in my account. I had a few potential corporate sponsorship deals in the pipeline and I guessed that at least one of them would come through either before or during the trip. None of…
On Renewal(s)
This post is intended as a starting point for online collaboration – let it be a launchpad for something you make yourself. I think the first time I heard the word renewal it was in relation to library books. If you wanted to keep a book longer than the standard amount of time, past the…
Here’s a first stab at a map
http://www.tripline.net/api/tripviewer.swf Someone (thankyou whoever you were!!!) told me about tripline and it’s amazing – this is just a first go using my foursquare check-ins to build a map of the journey so far and embedding it here, but you can add notes and pictures too. It won’t update automatically yet unfortunately but Byron at tripline…
Solve it while I sleep #2
OK I'm still in Half Moon Bay but tonight I'm writing at 11.30pm when I'm going to bed, in an attempt to put away stuff that otherwise would wake me at 3 🙂 It seems to me this might be a good regular practice – to write any issues down before I go to bed…
I think there’s a lot in that Lloyd. It’s really tiring if we are not truly committing to the activity we are engaged in – having to combat intrusive thoughts about those other activities we’d rather be engaged in (or even thoughts about paying the milkman and needing to re-paint the wall we’re staring at). It’s like the idea of ‘open loops’ that the getting things done people write about. Also made me think of Flow, which if you haven’t tried it is worth a peek:

I find the facilitation/training work I do with groups of people very energising, even though I am on my feet for up to 8 hours a day (which is unusual for me), and even thought I am constantly performing. I think that part of the reason is because it is the only thing I have time to think about – I am trying to focus on what is going on out there for the group, rather than what is going on inside for me (though I’m keeping in touch with that too). But because it is all-consuming I get closer to the state of flow, and have less of the open loops that cause friction and drag me down.
Cheers,
Stuart
