Thought Recorder
It's strange how inspiration strikes at 4 am and amazing how quickly it disappears. By the time I got up, sorted scrap paper to write on, realised I was hungry, got myself breakfast, tidied a book shelf (procrastinating again) and found its warping is warping my books, I had forgotten those ideas and words which flowed so freely in my brain the instant I'd woken.
Often I've thought how great it would be to be able to video-record my dreams, which I remember vaguely for only half a minute when I wake. Then I could 'dream' them again, consciously.
I also want a thought recorder/player built into my brain!
Pressure to Perform
My project has been put on hold because I have real work; that is, putting theory into practice (or trying to). When the pressure is on, though, theory somehow disappears. Yet that theory is so vital to performing well in the job and can only be integrated into practice by practising! What would be useful, then, is a workplace not without pressure, but where THEORY ABOUNDS. How could this be?
One way is for my brain's thought recorder/player to play back the relevant theory inside my head as I perform a certain task. For example, when I'm asked if we have any Tom Brennan books, the theory message I would get is to not assume anything, least of all that Brennan is an author of fiction! This would save a whole lot of embarrassment! When sorting books to shelve, I would be reminded to sort non-fiction numerically in the first instance, then alphabetically - not the other way around! (I put it down to pressure to perform.)
Until thought recorders/generators are invented, a library which is a school would be helpful. Students work where their teachers work. The teachers help make the connections between theory and practice (not to mention forgive the students' mistakes).
A library-school would benefit not only the students; teachers would be able to continue their library practice.
Project Development
Out of the 47 things that make my project, I have completed nine. Now I'll need to do two things a day to finish in time. (Seven things are incorporated into a 2,000 word report.) Besides everything else.
How much more pressure to perform can I take?
How determined am I?
