🧠This amazing video captures what processing everyday information feels like to me. Inside my head & body and 'outside' of it. I usually use the term 'sea' of information or life, but this video is a mesmerisingly perfect depiction.
It represents, in reality, a functional amount of information not an endless sea, and it all has form and purpose and relationship to each other.
The murmuration of information is always moving and shifting to achieve its purpose though, while I stand and try to follow, connect, catch and be in functional relationship to it.
I can make lists and calendars and plans, and each of these things create anchors, markers, waypoints to help map and process the information. Yet each of these things stands still as I do, so they rapidly become less effective for connecting me with the information that ever shifts.
This can be challenging and tiring.
This truth is the flipside of other essential, useful traits:
Ability to be very present in the 'now', intuitive, creative, non-hierarchical, open to inspiration, flexible, seeing from multiple perspectives, expecting and noticing connections.
