Intro

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

This is my first post. The purpose of this blog is to cover Thoughtfront(ing), a method and application for extending a broad range of ideas into physical reality, avoiding doublethink/recreation/working.

The word is similar to storm front, except instead of rain and lightning bolts, the spread of thoughts and building of new ideas, in a productive fashion.

This is somewhat related to GTD but for profusely creative people, where the 80/20 rule can sometimes lop off the head of the most innovative ideas, before they’ve been born.

Some Core Ideas on this blog

  • New Ideas are fragile, capture them in the wild.
  • Continual Clustering of ideas (prior to 80/20 when scheduling)
  • Embrace and Extend Metaphors
  • Thinking Tools

This is somewhat in contrast to GTD, and 4 hour workweek. But in actually thoughtfronting is a tool and strategy to be used at sometimes and avoided at others.

The goal of these posts for me is to capture the thoughts as real world reminds me, but eventually migrate into a wiki for better clarity, and software tools/games,  and ebooks to reach larger audiences.
