Mental Boards Of Directors

Doc Searls:
Logic and reason sit on the mental board of directors, but emotions cast the deciding votes.

In my current situation, that being one of impending self-imposed early retirement, this guidance seems to be appropriate, and quite acutely so.

So, my new plan is to retire for at least the month of June - possibly July too - to some far off, warm, sunny, beachy destination much nearer the equator than I am now, and host occasional mental board meetings and see what resolutions get passed.

Once several well defined objectives have been agreed - and a good few enlightening books read - I shall then reboot myself, return home and wantonly allow myself to be talked back out of retirement.
