I had the opportunity to do a verbal dump of many little work related things that have been floating around in my head yesterday. The person on the receiving end may have pointed out a connection or two, but a lot of it was just being able to verbalize one thing after another and go off on tangents for probably twenty minutes. It was definitely one of those, I have had my Ritalin and several coffees, but not enough to eat type of afternoons.
The tangents where I think, the most interesting part. Say a thing, the brain flicks you a tangent and verbalize that tangent straight away. Someone else in the room forces me to hold on to that original thread and bring the tangent back to that, now having made a connection. Do that half a dozen times and end up with a network of interactions forming a picture in my head. Well, sort of a picture. Not a picture picture. Aphantasia n'all. A summary is probably a better description.
The summary was (will be?) useful, but the more I think about it, the more I am finding the process by which I arrived at having the summary is more interesting. One of those things to tuck away, to pull out an re-examine when it happens again sometime in the future.
