Meta Tag Your Life

Today I had the thought that I think a lot of little things and make a lot of little decisions that I don't really understand the full ramifications of or even my own driving motives. We all do this. What a lot of us do as well is figure out some big philosophical underpinnings for our lives. I know I spend a lot of time on that. The idea I'm working on here is syncing those two things up. Really that is the hardest part. I'm even a little stuck as to how one could begin, even in a super low res way, to start this process.

I'm all for lists and signs and things written out and hung around your room. So let's start there. Make a big sign with your life philosophy. I don't know 'love the trees' or some shit. Totally your call. Hang that sign up. That way you'll see it all the time. And like reflect on it. Then (here we are getting to the part that there might be some hi tech solution to that I don't have the brain power for right now) at the end of the week you should write down some of the little choices you made over the week. In the center of said page write that life philosophy / guiding morality type of thing. Then try to figure out which choices link up and which don't and what the ones that don't link up are actually using as their guiding thought. Then put an X through that not good thought. Or something. This is really all up to you and your processes.

I just want to see in the big picture in as many of the little things as I can. I want to create a loop in which reflection on action becomes second nature. Hell, might as well make it first.
