I use twitter a lot already, but it's more of a dumping ground for all sorts of amusing thoughts I don't have time to pursue in any other way. I'm considering making another account to use to help me be more mindful during my workday -- I am a chronic procrastinator, and I have recently started vowing to quit. I know that a big part of my problem is that I "lose myself" in things, usually not work-related things. I used to be so bad, I'd forget to eat for hours on end. Now I just lose myself in information and "stuff" on the internet. I know the next step is to pump up my mindfulness, but how? I was hoping to find an answer when I saw that your blog was talking about it, but to my dismay, it's still an unanswered question, everywhere I look. So I'm going to remove myself from the vicinity of the computer, and brainstorm about how to increase mindfulness using twitter...

I'm blown away by your post on mindfulness and Twitter. While I don't see thinking as linear I do share your excitement at using Twitter as a tool to help in the understanding of mindfulness. I took the mindfulness course with Jon Kabat-Zinn and one of the first exercises is to close your eyes and place a raisin on your tongue and let it sit there while you pay attention to it's taste and texture. I hope you will continue to explore this and I'm sure an Utterz about this topic will be a great hit. Thanks Hi

Holy synchronicities, Batgirl! I've always thought Twitter would be great as a reminder of being-here-now-ness, But I'd like something to proactively prompt me with "What are you doing now?" -- That's part of what I was looking for today, when I saw your Tweet. Any suggestions, Biray?
