Mogic thinks

Let's start with a small story.

At the beginning of a project meeting, I always start with a few minutes of "small talk" from the facilitator. It is surprisingly difficult to give a small talk; you need to set the theme yourself, and you need to have a beginning, middle, and end.

I think the content of the small story itself can be anything. But naturally, something about the person's life over the past few days comes through in the small story. What did they feel, what did they enjoy, what did they wonder about in the time leading up to the meeting? If you were to go into the meeting unconscious, you would be stuck in the meeting for the umpteenth time, and the members would laugh at you.

I'm hoping that the week of having to tell small stories will build up and train me to live consciously in the present.
