The “cloud” is just one more tool to bookmark your life. Stop worrying and let cloud.
I resisted for the longest time but I am finally on the Kindle “cloud.” It started with a used Kindle that I bought from a friend, and then I became a real convert when I realized that I could stay “in the cloud” through apps on my iPhone, iPad, or even my computer.
What sold me on the whole process was how I could use the cloud to stay conscious of where I am in all my various life projects. It’s nice to be in the belly of the subway beast and be in the cloud. Instead of looking at the skin doctor ads, I can scan a page of “What Color is My Parachute” and work towards finding a new career or re-imaging my current career. Richard Bolles’ book is now a career searchers’ classic that emphasizes how important it is to really have a vision of what you want before you even search for a career.
Being “in the cloud” I can dip in and out of life process books and always have a constant reminder of where I stand. The cloud is a way of bookmarking my life.
There is a relationship between my Samurai mind notebook and my cloud. Since I put juicy quotes and ideas from the various books and projects I am working with and review them regularly (Samurai Mind Notebook), I am regularly reminded to go back to my cloud for on going inspiration.
The Samurai notebook is a great place to get reminded of ideas. Theoretically, I review any entry on a roughly algorithmic schedule. This is great but sometimes it can feel a little haphazard. Lately for ongoing work and “visioning” I’ve realized I need a more permanent place to keep track of where I am.
Though I can brainstorm in my samurai notebook, google docs is a more permanent place to put final results. “What Color is Your Parachute” is an interesting, at times challenging way to really explore how you want to go forward with your life and career. I am still flushing out the categories above.
Enter google docs (or whatever cloud space you like to write on). I used my samurai notebook to brainstorm and work out some of my “Favorite Fields” using “What Color is Your Parachute.” However, once I prioritized my favorite interests using Bolles’ system, I put it up in the cloud to be able to work at it from any point on earth. The samurai mind notebook is more like a sketchbook, while the google docs is a more permanent yet cheap canvas.
The real canvas is my life. All these different tools are just more ways to play, draw, and create. Though I try to keep my feet firmly planted on the earth, I am also a samurai in the cloud. Join me.
Great post! thanks very much 🙂
