Today I spent some time recording a video course that I am in the process of creating. While trying to remember what it was I want to talk about in each section, I knew that it would be a perfect opportunity to practice creating and using markers. The thing was though, I was trying to get through the course creation in as short a time as possible (well, as short as possible while still producing a quality product, that is), and as much as I am sold on the advantages of using markers... I'm nowhere near proficient with creating or using them yet... which means that it just takes too long to justify use in situations like the one I was in today.
This made me realise just how much of a commitment will be needed for me to make this change in my life. Because that's what it is - it's a major change to the way that I live my life, the way that I operate on a daily basis. It's all too easy to "take the easy way out" - to do what I've always done, because it's quick and nasty and it works... and I'm so very well practiced at it. The Art of Memory is the road less traveled for a reason - it's a way of life contrary to the way we have experienced thus far, and an awful lot of unlearning, learning, time, and commitment is needed to travel that road to a more productive and enjoyable life.
