Mark J has been talking about linkages for the last couple of weeks. I’ve started to pick up on some of those linkages. Last week, we began working with our 3×5 index cards. We began adding colored symbols with each line we enter on the cards, and we look for those colors and symbols throughout the week.
We look for blue rectangles, red circles, green triangles, and yellow squares. Today, I began linking those objects with the content. In other words when I saw blue triangles, I linked to thinking about repeating “Do it now” twice a day out loud. Lots of people are linking this with chores they know they need to do as well. I saw a yellow rectangle, and I linked that to reading the scrolls in Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World. Then I think about some of the contents of the current scroll we’re reading.
This is kind of cool.
