A surprising discovery

Sometimes I have an idea for a blog post but don’t get to it right away. Occasionally, it rolls around in my brain long enough that by the time I sit down to write, I’m no longer sure that I didn’t already write it!

When that happens I usually review my recent posts. But tonight I also decided to check that I hadn’t started out but then saved it as a draft.

I was surprised — in fact, I was rather shocked — to discover that I’ve accumulated fifty-seven draft blog posts. Fifty-seven!

Yikes!

The oldest dates all the way back to September 2019 — only a few months after I started blogging. It’s going to be interesting to step back in time and see whether any are still pertinent and usable…or whether I’ll be doing a lot of deleting.

Swirling thoughts

What a full and complicated week it’s been…and there’s still Friday to go!

I’m amazed at just how many different ideas and bits of information and decisions to be made are swirling around in my brain.

It’s rather exhausting, so I think I’ll stop right there for tonight.

Too many ideas

More and more ideas seem to want to crowd into my brain every day. And a lot of them seem like good ideas, too.

Ideas for…
…informal music Q&A satsangs
…”sing-along with Swami” sessions
…creating music playlists
…online courses
…increased engagement with our “fans”
…music leader training
…more regular newsletters
…lyric videos
…how to rehearse choir using Zoom
…virtual World Brotherhood Choir videos
…training small groups online
…etc, etc, etc!

Unfortunately, there seems to be an inverse relationship between the number of ideas and my ability to focus or be productive. I know it’s partly my response to the unsettled energy and uncertainties of this time, but still…it’s really rather frustrating.
