Chris Brogan: In One Year

  • Vajra · 2 years ago
    What was the change in you? Was it just a change in what you do or the way you use time? My life has changed, too, but I'm still the same, although, perhaps, more so.

    I change all the time, but most of what I do in a given year is attempting to improve my capacity. My ability to focus on the things that are important, and say no to all the things that aren't. If I do that well, I accomplish more. When I say yes to things I shouldn't care about, that's where things go awry.

    Does that help?

    I think it's a semantic discussion- change sometimes implies a 180 degree shift; I think its more evolutionary change here- learning, refining, altering the course when things get totallo OOC; learning to do things better.
    People in general are much more confortable with stasis than with constant change and new media, I am finding out, is largely about becoming comfortable with constant change and refinement. Like sharks, if you stop moving, you can die, or so it seems. It's not always comfortable; it's definitely exhausting; but it's a lot of fun too, and I think this is what keeps everyone going.
    My children are watching the Magic School Bus in the background, and I think Ms Frizzle is onto something- Take Chances ! Get Dirty! Make Mistakes! Because these are keys to learning.
