3. I always get into trouble

Feb 2014

when I start "futuring". for the longest time I had to consciously,and with some effort, drag my mind back to NOW.
At one point I learned to recognize when I got away from now, and to ask myself.."what is the next right thing for me to do, right now".
It worked. Pracrtice of many many many days has helped, but Step two is still a needed mantra, after many years.

so, whatcha gonna do for the next few minutes?
