A Map for Our Attention.

It was stated in a recent conversation with a client that a schedule is a map for our attention. There are so many directions we could carry this metaphor, but today, a visual image immediately came to mind. What patterns inform how you spend your time?

Does every event on your schedule create a perfect grid on your attention map similar to Chicago’s city map? Not likely. But if it’s close, is it a reflection of one’s disciplinary practices?

What are you paying attention to? Is it attention-worthy and discipline-empowering? Is it worth your attention?
