How to get into Second Life without really trying

Selby Evans is Thinkerer Melville in Second Life

It always helps to know what you are doing.  So if you are going to start thinking, it will help to know which form.  In this venue, we point out four different forms of thinking.  You already do this kind of thinking, but you may not notice:

Which form you are using.

Which form you are going to use next.

Which form is best for your current job.

The trick here is to notice.  So focus on the thought diamond above.               

This is not a sequence.  And, by the way, you don’t really want a favorite form of thinking.  You want the right form at the right time. 

There is a time for everything.
A time to plan.  A time to act. 
A time to know what time it is.

Usually, the place to start is with draft thinking.  From there, you would probably want to move to unthinking or Zen thinking.  You might want to shift among those three for several moves.   As you get more satisfied with your draft thinking, you can start asking yourself whether it is time to move to final thinking.
