I'm an "ideas person". There are dozens of them floating around in my head - all at
same time which , when they're not colliding with each other, tends to result in a kind of mental gridlock. You reckon voices in
head are creepy? Believe me, you don't know creepy until you've heard all those invisible car horns!Problem is, with all those ideas zooming about, blaring out their merits on subliminal woofers, each one trying to nudge
others off that metaphorical freeway with their monster-truck(ish) bull-bars, every one of them becomes lost in a buzz of "one day.." The consequence of this, of course, is many things begun but not many seen through to
end.
Does anyone else relate to this? Assuming that I'm not
only one with a traffic jam in her head (and
notion that I am is REALLY creepy), how do we solve this problem? How do we make order out of this chaos and get
traffic flowing again?
Allow me to introduce: "The Roadmap for
Mind". Now this is more than just a list of places and how to get there. The Roadmap for
Mind provides all
essentials for safe travel.
First of all, we have
policeman, Constable Carry-on. He directs
traffic so that all ideas come forth in a safe and orderly manner. There will be no overtaking on double yellow lines - and all
lines are double yellows. So one at a time each idea moves forward. Idea Number One is directed via arrows in its lane to a pleasant little tourist drive which ends at a picnic ground. There it is required to stay until its feasibility is assessed.
Meanwhile, Idea Number Two is directed through a roundabout where it joins Idea Three on its way to
caravan park by
beach. Frolicking in
sea and sand keeps these Ideas happily occupied for ages.
