Organizing the Somethings
I'm fascinated with templates. Organizing information and creating standardized systems intrigues me, however, it also weighs on me. Thinking about the way in which I sort my ideas, especially when I am going through a new phase of interest or a burst of inspiration, often feels choking in the way that a boot clogs up a garden hose. It demotivates me.
I'm all for templates and properly organized data... yet when I want to start gabbing about my most recent fixation, I find myself gravitating to an unfiltered process. Maybe that's where the gap lies and I should focus on allowing the creativity to come first.
For now, as I write, I'm settling on using pocket journals and physical media to explore immediate attention-grabbing ideas and thoughts. As I transition to this blog, I'll filter it into one large post. And, if I decide to transform that into something later, I will.
And if not, at least it made it up here.
