Are You Overloaded With Too Many Non-Related Fragmented Thoughts?
Over the past few weeks, I had started an extended conversation with a gentleman in another part of the country.
Our conversation started out simple, but became much more complex, as one topic seemed to bleed into the next.
He expressed concern that he found it time consuming to find time for this email exchange and that due to the array of topics covered we may have "created a massive jumble of thoughts and information," which was now so far off the original topic that it would take time for him to clear those thoughts to focus, so it wouldn't sound disorganized.
Sound familiar? Of course, because these things happen to us all the time don't they? Interestingly enough, the other day at the book store I did pick up a worthy book to read on such things is: "Thinking in New Boxes - A New Paradigm for Business Creativity - Five Essential Steps to Spark the Next Big Idea," by Luc de Brabandere and Alan Iny, Random House Publishers, New York, NY, 2013, pages 331, ISBN: 978-0-8129-9295-3.
Now then, after you read that book, I'd like you to consider my strategy of how I keep it all straight, when thinking on multiple topics.
You see, sometimes your mind needs to organize your thoughts into the categories you've created for memory storage as you've formatted your mind.
This is how humans generally use their minds.
Indeed, I have chosen to create a category called; "the human endeavor" and I put everything in there, like a messed up table with lots of scattered information, and then think on it, then put some of the information (if and only when relevant) into the sub-categories of topics, then create a discard pile, after reviewing the information one last time, if I think I might need it as some future point, I stick it into an unclassifiable category in my mind - deep memory + RAM memory, once full, I discard again, or expand the total amount of seemingly non-related details until I find a category to place them in, or many and make a link between them.
If you use my strategy and try to think about things in this way, your memory will go very fast when coming up with information.
Yes, this too is a non sequitur as well - this concept has to be placed on your table for now, and copied into your RAM to consider, and then you decide if you should use it or chuck it.
See that point - this is one thinking strategy.
My acquaintance reminded me of a famous quote, and advice from a very brilliant past period thinker: Einstein: "A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels" Right and in the context he made that statement - he was suggesting that mankind has caused all their problems, thus the kind of thinking, linear thought, that got them into this problematic situation today, will not solve the problems tomorrow.
Thus, a new type of thinking makes sense, that's a fair assessment, well stated.
I concur.
So, maybe a new type of thinking, a new way of thought is in your future - the choice is yours so, please consider all this and think on it.
