Many of you will have seen the early editions of the viral video, “Shift Happens.” I just found this latest “4.0″ version, with updated stats. Mind-blowing stuff!
The “2 000 000 TVs in bathrooms across the USA” is a little odd though… do people seriously watch TV in the bathroom?
I’ve had a total adventure over the past 3 or 4 months! Spending time in Cape Town was an absolute treat – I fell head over heals in love with Cape Town all over again and loved the time we were able to spend with our family and long-time friends. Our trip up to the Eastern Cape and the movie Invictus inspired me to learn more about our South African history, and so I’ve been re-reading Nelson Mandela’s “Long Walk To Freedom” autobiography and enjoying experiencing it with a deeper understanding, having now visited the area where Nelson Mandela spent his childhood.
This post is part of a series of posts on how to problem-solve and negotiate change the agile way, rather than using traditional goal-setting and productivity techniques. The first post in the series is How to use your whole mind to problem-solve and negotiate change.

Since I went through the process of converting my business into a location independent business about a year ago, I’ve been hanging out a fair bit in the lifestyle design community, learning a lot from other people who’ve been working in a location independent way for a long time, and following many of the practicing and aspiring location independent and “unconventional living” discussions on various blogs. And as a newbie to the online world, I’ve learned loads about practical strategies for making a location independent business possible, met plenty of interesting adventurers, made many new friends and had my dream machine stimulated in a big way by seeing, reading and hearing about the choices other people are making. All of this has extended my perspectives on what’s possible. Don’t you love it when that happens!?
A big, warm welcome to those of you who are coming over from Lateral Action. Creating is central to Agile Living, so I write a lot about stuff related to becoming more creative, bringing your creation and contribution into the world and overcoming the resistance and fear that often accompanies the creative process.
What’s Agile Living all about?
The essence of agile living is about developing the skills and thinking styles to move, learn and change easily and elegantly in response to our high-change world, and to creatively improvise and use whatever resources you have within you and around you right now to create more of what you love in the world.
