Recently, I posted
a video on several of my social media sites that contained a video of 10,000
iPhones doing the domino dance. First thoughts when I viewed it: Who has time
to do this? Who even thought it up? When and where in the heck did they gather
up 10,000 iPhones (Apple headquarters)? How much time did this take? How many
misfires were there? Etc.
After viewing, it
left me with a smile and an "OK, it's a long day ahead, I need to do some
final re-writes on the For the Love of
Paprika cookbook that I’m working on for/with a client; get two handouts
done for speeches I’m giving in the next two weeks; get … you get the picture. This is a fun way to start it ...." and
who knows what creative things are going to pop. And let’s face it—we all need
a mental break during our days … even when in the depths of a project. Any
project.
Here's the video: http://ow.ly/kbmak
Take less than two
minutes to watch and then ask yourself, “What goofy, nonsense thing has opened
up paths for me?” Hey, it sparked the idea to write this short blog … an idea
that I didn’t have when I opened my laptop at 5 am that popped when I thought
and asked, “Who has the time to do this?”
