Deep Thinking - Simplicity

A few years ago I decided to drop my obsessive list-making. I wanted to see what happened... Nothing. Life carried on much the same. I messed up just about the same. BodyChance kept growing. The complaints against me didn't get disportionately bigger. It wasn't a breakthrough, but nor was it a breakdown. Huh? I marvelled at the ease of it all. I stopped taking notebooks to meetings. I just took me: my mind, my awareness, my instinct, my intuition. I listened, I reacted, I decided and I forgot. Or did I? I don't think I forgot. I just gave up the effort of trying to keep it conscious (written out on a sheet outside my mind called: "Must get to this list" and freaking out every day I didn't "get to this list.") My list still existed, but it existed unconsciously. My mentor at the time was against it: "It's not scalable" and about that he could be right. Because I did start noting my decisions at meetings. I realised other minds where involved, and they didn't have access to my unconscious. Silly me. But my approach to me is still along these lines - establish my broad vision, my current mission - keep THAT conscious EVERY DAY. Then let my unconscious do the legwork. Each morning I sit in my deep thinking corner and ask: What is the thing… (not 2 or 3, just one) … For my vision mission, what is the SINGLE THING I need to accomplish today? What would that be for you?
