February is the shortest month. Don’t you think it’s suffered enough. Always getting picked on for being so little. The last one chosen to make the team. No. Heap an overblown holiday like Valentine’s Day onto it’s tiny little frame.
Meanies!

I’ve been trying to keep up with the daily calls to participate on The Mindfulist but have been doing a meh job of it all. I had the dimly powered idea to go back and try to pack some mindfulness all in one post but that is really sucking all of the participation, sharing and community engagement out of the project.
So I’m not going to dwell on the past and will set a reminder to post daily and if I miss posting that day, well, the moment is gone. No biggie.
In other news, I’m still working on figuring out where I’m headed. There’s been a lot of buzz around the book “Escape from Cubicle Nation” by Pamela Slim and a new “Open Letter to my Cubicle” on McSweeney’s so one might take that as some kind of sign. Or maybe not…
I hear what you are saying about The Mindfulist… we could bomb through a whole lot of the prompts in one sitting.
…and we might feel semi-good about doing so, but it does truly rob the concept of its very core. I have contemplated the same thing over the past few days, however, because I am also quite behind.
So i decided to make it my default home window before I left work today. I’m actually already looking forward to firing up my computer tomorrow – knowing it will be there waiting for me.
Have you had a chance to look at those two books you mentioned above yet? The titles seem quite intriguing.
Oh Shannon I hear you loud and clear. I’m so lacking mindfulness and feeling the effects. I do appreciate that I now notice how out of whack I am, rather than accepting the way I’m feeling mentally and physically as norma..
Keep me posted on if your new strategy works re: default home window as The Mindfulist. I may need to try it myself :)
No chance to read anything besides getting midway into “The Power of Less” by Leo Babauta. It’s a super read so far.
