03. The list, for now
(Paying Attention to Attention - Part 3 - July 30, 2011)
Some of the items from the list, saved for when inspiration strikes:
- Ritalin - questioning the costs of the drug that helped me return to stability in work and time management.
- Mornings of fogginess
- Meandering Meetings
- Reading everything at once
- Music in everything, everywhere
- If Energy follows attention...
- Depth over speed
- 1st grade, Mrs. Martin and repeated days of tape on my mouth for talking too much.
- Alarm clock madness.
- To do lists replaced by other to do lists, all of which have dozens of items on them.
- MENSA - pros and cons.
- Early driving experiences and accidents
- People leaving the room and disappearing from my thoughts so completely it's scary.
- Forgetting names and faces, even with successful practice in memory training.
- 4th grade school and homework issues: the over stuffed envelope of a whole quarter's unfinished work in English and social studies. 30 days of summer detention for not completing 5 long division problems in math, then having the number due increase every day as punishment, till the school year ended and I (along with a couple other fellow fourth grad delinquents) had over 1000 long division problems to complete, keeping us at school till early July.
- Saying I'll be home in 30 minutes, then showing up hours (and hours) later...
- Conversation gluttony
- Recurring Dreams of community and of creating/working/living with groups of people.
