“A clean work space is a safe and efficient work space.”

We all have a giant chalk boards in our minds. (Some gianter than others, no doubt.) We write down notes about everything we do, experience and believe. We write and write, learning to use different colors to add discernible layers once the board's been whitewashed with worries, wants and wonderings. It becomes a cacophonous collage that's difficult to decipher.

Tis better to clear the board on a regular basis. With the board cleaned, priorities, proverbs and preferences remain clear, and can be properly positioned to highlight the broadest possible overview and to illuminate the most important details, for our nomadic attention.

It's far more important than it may seem. The state of your chalkboard greatly affects your functioning in, and the way you interpret, your world - all day, every day. No aspect of your life is immune to its influence.

Sorry, they haven't come up with an effective board cleaning machine, yet. (Although many have tried.) You'll have to roll up your sleeves, on a regular basis, and do the maintenance, yourself. Meditation, or whatever technique or combination of practices does the trick for you, make the time and do the work.

Shhh, hhhh, shhh, hhhh, shhh, hhhh, shhh, hhhh, ...

Dance with the rhythm.
