Helpful Definitions
I just got to reading that last entry and realized how convoluted the whole monochronic/polychronic part is even if one is familiar with the terms. So, I’ll try to help a bit over the next few entries. For now, just a couple of definitions, later, more on the idea I was attempting to present.
Actually, since there is really no point in reinventing the wheel, there is a table at the following address that outlines monochronic and polychronic time-orientations pretty well:

—The thought from my previous blog entry was prompted by a plenary address given by Patti Digh at the 2009 SIETAR USA conference in Cary, NC last week. She was talking, in part, about the flexibility and depth of childhood imagination and the lack of depth and flexibility often limiting adulthood imagination. Right now, though, I am exhausted and need to sleep, so more about that later.
