leveraging fickle


too many ideas been slipping through the holes in my head or pooling up in the quagmire sludge of clippings and notes and stashes of info like a squirrel with nuts buried all over the forest only a handful he remembers. Always been a problem, been approaching it many ways, most of them unsuccessful in the long term. my latest strategy is I've created a tag in evernote called "Curate" ... these are ideas, some of them old ones that have been kicking around for decades, others more recent, not to many that recur like this, but the curate tag has a list of these that I come back to daily, weekly or whenever and elaborate on further, extend, refine, cogitate about and let 'em age and mature like a good black diamond melon waiting in the sun until it's just so juicy its ready to explode or turn into natural moonshine

and at the end of the year, instead of worrying about resolutions and behavior and ideals, I'll just review the ideas I've curated for the year and file them off in a folder and begin my incubation of new ones or ones that are still ripening. In a few years, I should have a nice collection of where my head's been, what was important, or what I thought was important, what I learned or what I didn't, how I benefited or suffered from carrying these ideas throughout the year
