Lunch Note #001: Formalizing and systematizing

[polyproticamory]

Consider this my first, formal-ish entry into something that I've been doing somewhat informally.

In an attempt to force myself to take my lunch breaks, I'm going to try and blog as many weekdays as I can and post quick thoughts during my lunch break.

My constraints: 

• The post has to be made during my lunch break. Lately I've been trying to take breaks between 1-2pm, but the post itself has to be made during the time I have set aside for not working.
• The post has to be written in 30 minutes. This is a creative challenge; I don't want to get bogged down too much in editing — I have the rest of my professional and creative life to self-flaggelate with editing.
• There are no constraints on subject matter. However, the post should try to come to focus on/make a single point. While I like my stream-of-consciousness, I feel like my consciousness could be a little more honed, you know? 

Some goals: 

• Write 100 such entries in the rest of this calendar year.
• To take breaks from work doing something I know I love.

Here's to some future lunch notes!
