Comment on Structured procrastination by Francois

I like it being a procrastinator myself. As part of my self-deception is creating multiple lists (tadalists.com) and then spending time deciding which list to look at firt. As a child my mother gave me a Readers Digest article to read. It was titled, “The Power of Positive Procrastination”. My recollection of the central theme, was that if you wait long enough, most tasks become redundant

That’s really interesting Tim, thanks for sharing.

We took part in some RSC-UK staff development recently in the which the three techniques you mention were employed. Do you think the first part of th Appriciative Inquiry process would work well at RSC forum meetings?

I am wondering about trying it out at our next VLE forum meeting (5th March) where instead of the usual ’round the table’ we could ask each other, in pairs about what has worked well and perhaps go on to thinking about how and why. We could then feed back to the whole group to see whether any patterns emerge.

The reason I thought this may be useful is that if it works, our key VLE contacts could perhaps use it in thier own organisations when working with champions or lead tutors to implement strategic use of VLEs. What do you think?

Interesting – convergence does seem to be a much more workable theory than developing / western.

Now to see if it affects policy!

Comment on Understanding the past by Tagbo Munonyedi

Yeah, it’s funny trying to paint a picture of the world as it was in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even the 90s for those that weren’t there at the time. When my eldest son was 3 or 4, he said to me “Dad, when you were little, was the world in black and white ??!!”
But you know, I think it’s been like that for quite a few generations now. I remember reading a John Lennon interview, just before he died in which he bemoaned his parents’ generation always moaning about what they didn’t have during ‘the war’. And he was born in 1940 ! And was it really any different for those of our generation ? Growing up in an era when TVs, record players, cassette recorders, bus and train passes, no national service, air travel and fairly disposable income were commonplace among many kids {among so many other things}, I often heard tales of how different things were “back then” _ and I wasn’t always interested either ! Also, though being born in England, having Nigerian parents ensured that I was frequently regaled with tales of what I obliquely refer to as “the changing phase of the countryside.”
Many people that came to the richer climes of the West from the third world were, until quite recently,rather like our kids in regard to the way things have changed because many of them didn’t have access to the things that many of us took for granted. Many describe the overwhelming feelings they had, for example, walking into fully stocked supermarkets for those first few times.
I guess one of the hardest things for people of the Spirit to come to terms with is dealing with a God in whom so much of the past has been made so {in my opinion unproportionately} important, while seeing and being here now…..and dealing with him in the here and now, regardless.

Comment on Using time by Matthew Stanford

I agree – watching tv is a blackhole – time gets sucked in but never comes out!

To think what might happen if we stopped watching TV a couple of nights a week is exciting
