I got the idea from Dave Pollard author of the blog, How to Save the World. He got the idea from Beth Adams<\/a>. Basically you sit for half an hour and write 30 thoughts\/questions that enter your mind<\/strong>. It’s a fun exercise but beyond that I’m not sure what value it creates. I wrote my questions over Pho at my neighbourhood Vietnamese restaurant.<\/p>\n
