We have a nice word for it in Afrikaans. Kitsoplossings.
But optimizing is so important in this day and age when simple functions are being replaced by AI.
A Google search is our go-to, a Pinterest look-over etc. But dangers abound when we forget our aim. Page aimlessly, forgetfully following links and being diverted from our aim.
Solution: Enter the Notebook
My version of the addage goes
Writing is a reflection on, a clarifying and distilling of thoughts to become useful…essential…tested in the cauldron of debate. Crystallized and organized in order to assist us in finding or coming up with new situations, solutions, paths through the woods…
So, since I have notebooks and notebooks filled with static notes I never return to, writing and updating some of the blogs I have will be how I ruminate through new ideas in the future. In order to revive some of the diverse blogs I have started… and not updated for years.. as a wise advisor said,
No updates, no life….(in Bloglife) adding new content is King. – Pekka Jalonen
Now I have to find a way to be obedient to the phone calendar reminders, motivate the heck out of myself to treat my blogs for the potential they have – good ideas that can be monetized to reach my goal : starting an online training school.
With Knowledge a house is built
Some time ago, when reading for my Honors in Education, I had the privilege of reading a pocketbook on Project Management. Not unlike this volume found on Perlego.
It bestowed on me the inspiration to help me contribute to teamwork that led to the fulfillment of a task on Entrepreneurial Fundraising ventures within the K-12 context.
But without grand attempts to raise funds during any of my teaching contracts have left me back at square one, fighting poverty and lack.
It is all in my hands. The knowledge exists. I just have to implement it.
Watch this space.
