Unless we give ourselves time and space to stop and think we cannot even see new things (albeit innovate) as we are running around like blinkered brewery horses.

Mike thanks for your comment on the recent post
Well on my walkabouts I’ve been on the dark side of the moon, in digital monsoons, travelling a lot in the cloud. tropical rainforests, hacking in the undergrowth, experiencing the Darwin effects more times that I can recall, virtual digital pipelines, falling into pitfalls, sinkholes, dealing with heat-seeking missiles, been on safari’s, voyages, even crossing red lights at intersections…………
I mean………..a buffalo and a wildebeest -nothing on all these others. When you do walkabouts, you ‘do’ walkabouts

A few years back I used to be a lot better at, “walkabouts.” These days I am definitely experiencing the busyness you are describing. The one time I really try to protect in my day is my drive to and from work. It’s about a half hour and it provides me those opportunities to really think about the things I am trying to innovate at work.
Thanks for the good read.
