"You need a thinking queue!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Now that I've finished my Megatrends series, I can move on to the other ideas that are on my list.
Let's start here. One of the most popular blogs, and one of the longest running, is Seth's Blog.
Running for a long time, he's an iconoclast who offers up thoughts on everything from leadership to culture to knowledge to teamwork to creativity and marketing. With millions of followers, he's the original 'original thinker.' (In fairness, both he and I started around the same time in 2002!)
And for a long time, the image on his site was just an upper picture of his head - his mind, his thinking machine, his creative engine. Or, we might think, his thinking queue.
A thinking queue? That's the phrase recently shared with me by a good friend over in Australia. She had asked me a science and career-related question regarding one of the posts I had just written in my Megatrends series. I promised to get back to her with a detailed response, probably once I got through writing the series. (And I will now probably get around to it Monday or Tuesday next week.)
In my response, I noted that I had an entire list of ideas and issues and topics and stories, and inspirations I'm always thinking about for my blog - this Daily Inspiration series, which you follow - and that I would add it to the list. That way, I could ponder the issue in my mind over time while I'm busy with other things, along with all the other thoughts and ideas, and issues I'm thinking about.
She responded, "I think it's great you've got a thinking queue!".
And with that, the very idea and importance and concept of a 'thinking queue' became another item in my 'thinking queue!' In my queue, I've got a whole list of trends, news reports, daily inspiration ideas, innovation thoughts, client stories, and so much more floating around up there. I'm always, somehow or other, thinking about all these things at one moment or another. It's a pretty busy queue! In that way, my queue is my way of managing the space I live within.
Here's the thing - all of us should have a thinking queue.
Here's why!

Geneviève Fontaine enrichit la définition d’Ostrom en inscrivant les communs dans une perspective humaniste. Son concept de « communs de capabilités » met l’accent sur l’inclusion, l’accès, la diversité et le pouvoir d’agir collectif, au-delà de la simple gestion des ressources. 
AnDy Calypso ist von klein auf vom Tanzen fasziniert. Als Kind vom Deich war sie auf die Hilfe ihrer Mutter angewiesen, denn auf dem Land fuhr der letzte Bus bereits um 20 Uhr. 
Mittlerweile ist sie professionelle HipHop-Tänzerin. Zwei Jahre war sie mit Peter Fox auf Tour. Die 34-Jährige gibt Workshops an außergewöhnlichen Orten und sie will zeigen: HipHop gehört überall hin.
