My father always asked me, "What were you thinking before you pulled off this bird brain stunt?" I'd start to explain only to be interrupted, "You don't have a real answer or you would've thought this out. Now you have to face the consequences." The problem with his second comment is that I did know what I was doing. I've always been a thinker, writer and deliverer. Even today after placing thought into the daily writing I'll try to activate what the imagination has put in front of me. If what you think sits in the afterthought isn't that wasting your time? The minutes and seconds required to formulate a thought. You're not getting it back. On this podcast I talk about how we should learn to check in with our writing selves.

I've ripped down several Facebook posts because even though the thought seemed right it truly shouldn't have made its way into the light. Maybe the title should be Think Write Think Correct Think Deliver. Then again, aren't those the opening steps of being a perfectionist? Once inside that realm procrastination is given permission to belong to the moment. I was listening to a podcast with Kesha yesterday where she confessed to how difficult it is for her to be herself. One bad word and you're cancelled. Were you truly Ghosted by those once close? What did you write after little time was spent thinking? Look at Chris Matthews from Hard Ball! He recently retired because a few words he shared were no longer acceptable in today's news and business world. He didn't seem ill.
