I have been reading Stillness Is the Key, which is fantastic. It’s amazing how certain books can affect you.

One of the exercises is to journal. Not blog. Journal.

So, I have taken to my journal again.

Let’s be honest... many things do not need to be aired on a blog. Seriously, who blogs anymore anyway? Especially a blog that’s essentially a journal—not themed, nor designed to make money.

Anyway, the journaling, as well as other exercises in the book, are giving me laser-like focus. I’m more productive than I’ve been in weeks... possibly months!

In fact, the world seems to be moving in slow motion more frequently than not, instead of feeling like I’m the one moving in slow motion.

Perhaps, this is the next best thing to having a supply of NZT!

I have projects rolling in. I’m excelling at work, plus having fun doing it. Even having more fun with the ladies. The house is tidy, and small projects around the house are getting handled as well.

This seems to be a common theme of books I read. Finding that “flow,” and getting things done. Daily. Without excuses. Without depression.

All I had to do is challenge Pascal and embrace the stillness. Who knew?

While on the subject of NZT, where is it? I still would not turn down a supply...

I enjoy the movie Limitless, and watch it occasionally... yet I had never read The Dark Fields, on which the movie is based.

If you haven’t, pick it up. It’s excellent! Even if you have seen the movie.

In fact, it’s worth mentioning this is how books should be turned into movies. The movie pays homage to the book, without being faithful. You don’t see all of the twists.

One argument I’ve always made of The Shining is both the book and the movie are outstanding on their own. Like apples and oranges. The same is true with Limitless and The Dark Fields. You can see the inspiration working in between the two mediums... and it keeps you guessing.

Now... if only I could get my hands on some NZT...
