I hadn't thought about the flip side of that stat but it is a little scary to think that people at work are only spending 12% of their time thinking and reflecting. Or maybe it's just that the activity can only be <em>positively identified</em> 12% of the time, and they manage to do the the rest of their thinking without getting "caught"? Looking forward to that next article! Thanks for stopping by, Patti. Oh, wow, good point.

Although I quoted the statistic accurately, I would have done better to rephrase as "only 12%..."... I've another blog post in the works to address the implications of a generation that does not appear to spend much time in reflection. best, patti I actually agree with you, that the 12% of time spent thinking is a sad commentary on work today.

Thinking is one of my favorite hobbies - and you can do it anywhere, anytime - no special equipment required. But then I'e always been an odd one! ;-) Dang!

But then I’e always been an odd one! ;-)
