Enrich Your Time! Discover The Joys of Curiosity

I remember the day I was reminded about the joys of curiosity. I was hiking with my best friend. We hit the trail early in the morning. That's the best time to smell nature's perfume and feel the gentle warmth of the sun's morning rays. We had a great hike. On our return in the early afternoon, as we rounded the last bend, I could see the canyon road and my parked car. I glanced at my watch and noticed it was 2:00 p.m. The exact time I planned to finish my hike. I felt a rush of pride about my ability to manage my time and always do everything on a schedule.

As we reached the road, my friend glanced toward the creek. There sitting on the edge of the water was a mutual friend - Ardean Watts, the director of music at our local university. We shouted, "Hey Ardean! What are you doin'?" He motioned for us to come over. "Look," he said. "Get down here really close. See? I'm watching a spider spinning its web." I was taken aback and a little bit envious. I couldn't remember the last time I watched a spider spinning its web, but I know I was a child. How about you?

Curiosity, like spontaneity, can lace our life with microbursts of joy. It's a natural skill we all had when we were children. We can practice the skill anytime, anyplace. Curiosity keeps us plugged into life and enriches our time. Look for a curiosity opportunity every chance you have.

Books that should be written - [quote:1m0dcpd7]"The Idiots Guide To Sticking With One Thing At A Time and Not Doing Something New All The Time" [/quote:1m0dcpd7] I myself am a 'constructive' procrastinator... I don't know if I'm alone in this. I have about six or seven projects I'm working on at any given time. I get one project almost done... then my interest is piqued by another project and I work on that... I get burnt out and move to another...I know I do this so I have it arranged such that once I get bored or burnt out with one project, I can step right back into project 1 - or 2 or 3, and get that a little bit more done before moving on to something else. As long as you're organized and know where all your reference material/idea sheets are when you're ready to get back to work on each project, it should be fine. I also find that by stepping away from a project - I still work on it in the recesses of my mind so that when I go back to it - it's with some good ideas that I wouldn't have had if I'd continued on with it originally. Maybe I should write a book on how to Procrastinate Constructively... I've actually thought about doing that...because most people procrastinate, don't they...and very few are ever able to stop.
