Back to the the bookcase......As I was cleaning it out, I found one of my favorite books: How to Think Like Leonardo Davinci: Seven Steps to Genius Everyday. Ahhh.....who can resist the call of accessible genius--daily no less! I surely cannot!
Since I'm going through those cobwebs--a personal process surely--I plan to write about tidbits here over the next couple of weeks. I'll not finish this process by NY's--that's okay. I don't mind taking the time to revisit some things. As I share some of this "stuff" with you, keep in mind that I'm not trying to evangelize you in any way. Rather, I want to introduce you to some "stuff" that you may not have run across.
Selfishly, it's also a good way for me both to document and systemize my process. In other words, I'm bringing you into that process should you wish to come along--but I'm doing it for selfish reasons! The beauty of the internet is that you can merely click and escape!
There's the pre-amble. Now I bring to you
The Seven Davincian
Principles
Curiosita—An insatiably curious approach to life and an unrelenting quest
for continuous learning.
Dimostrazione—A commitment to test knowledge through experience,
persistence, and a willingness to learn from mistakes.
Sensazione—The continual refinement of the senses, especially sight, as the
means to enliven experience.
Sfumate (literally “Going up in Smoke”)—A willingness to embrace ambiguity,
paradox, and uncertainty.
Arte/Scienza—The development of the balance between science and art, logic
and imagination. “Whole-brain” thinking.
Corporalita—The cultivation of grace, ambidexterity, fitness, and poise.
Connessione—A recognition of and appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and phenomena. Systems thinking.
How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps toGenius Everday, Michael J. Gelb, p. 9.

I'm also a big fan of mind mapping. I still have on my wall one of the one's that I did for work. It really is terrific. I like Tony Buzan's, The Mind Map Book.

One of the columnists had an idea re: resolutions that I liked. (I blush to admit that I don't remember his name but I can SEE his face from the accompanying photo in my mind's eye -- not the same, I know).
ANYWAY....
He writes out his resolutions and mails himself a copy. When it arrives in his mail, the envelope, which remains sealed, is posted on his bulletin board to serve as a daily reminder.
End of the year, he opens the envelope and assess/evaluates his progress.
Leisa,
This should be very interesting to follow your musings on the subject mentioned. I find most of these statements of the DaVinci
principles very familiar with my own thought process a lot of the time. Believe that or not after meeting the neanderthal v-6. (deer/turnips) Reading & thinking things through in stages a few hours to a few days apart is also a very productive tool.

I should alert my readers that V-6 is engaging in a bit of a farce. Though he brought me the most fabulous turnips I've ever seen, he did not, by any means, fall off the proverbial turnip truck! He is the antithesis of a Neanderthal, but rather he is a consummate, fabulously successful businessman. He could teach me a thing or three!
I've had Gelb's book for 8 or 9 years. In fact, I bought a sketch pad and some pencils to make myself sketch--something I've never done. The results were a pleasant surprise to me.
One of the realizations that I had was that until one tries to render what one sees to a drawing, one has really not "seen" anything. To draw, you have to see not only the discrete details but also see those details specifically as they relate to all of the other details. It was a very awakening experience for me.
I hope to find my sketch pad in my cobweb clearing!
Leisa,
You overdid that just a little!

There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I feel good, I begin take up real money.
