It’s just coming up to 5 am, and I still haven’t managed to get to sleep yet, despite feeling tired and crashing out around 10pm. Sometimes my mind and body just don’t match up, so I think I’m going to fall to sleep, only to suddenly find a whole load of ideas buzzing around my head looking for somewhere to fly to. When I sit down at a desk, I can always stack up any ideas on a quick to do list and manage them accordingly - without pen and paper to hand this isn’t so easy.
I’ve had a concept going for a couple of years to relate each day to a flight, and to include 7 principle procedures to make everything gel together, but I’m some way off from getting these firing on all cylinders - so this post is one of those public reminders to self to get it done, and to create a proper ‘jA 380 Instruction Manual’ for myself & other like minded people.
The key seven points are:
Ø Check In - focus on key priorities for the day - should be pre-planned ‘destination’.
Ø Re-fuelling - eat properly, starting with plenty of fresh fruit.
Ø Take Off - channel creative ideas into getting the most important and urgent things done first.
Ø Cruise - sit back, relax, and get on with the rest of the day.
Ø In Flight Entertainment - make sure there’s plenty of fun each and every day, ideally during aswell as after work.
Ø Landing - wind down properly - switch off.
Ø Maintenance - keep body and mind in good shape at all times - get plenty of mental and physical exercise.
To be continued….
In the words of Truman Burbank - good night, good morning, and incase I don’t see you - good day aswell!
