When during the day, or during the week, do you deliberately think? That is, you tackle a subject, you work to put things together in a sequence, you use your brain to solve a problem? Do you do it "as needed" or do you set a time aside for deliberate thinking? Perhaps you don't even know what you will think about, but you do know that you will think.
Many of us have jobs or projects that require a lot of thinking. We don't set aside a time for deliberate thinking, but only think to plan out the next step of our job or project. I wonder if that is enough.
I wonder if we would use our minds better if we had a set time to think. To stretch our thinking capacity. To wonder and work out the implications of what we wonder.
I believe it would require turning the TV off (for awhile), setting the book aside, withdrawing from conversation, and possible being alone. I'm not sure. What do you think?
