Hello all,
This is your friendly (and belated) COMD Theory reminder! If you haven't already, please review the Week 3 Agenda from last week, complete the tasks, and submit your checklist before our next meeting tomorrow/Thursday.
If you are falling behind on your assignments or have missed a class, please set up a meeting so we can work together to get you on track.
This week's ART OF NOTICING task has been set by Sonali!
Look for the Plot: When you are walking to the subway or sitting in a cafe, notice who and what is around you? Imagine you are in movie. Ask yourself: What is the plot? What’s about to happen here?
See you soon!

This week's ART OF NOTICING task has been set by Tonisha!
Channel Your Inner Monk: Challenge yourself to spend an entire day saying only what you absolutely must say. We often tend to treat “conversation” as a game of waiting for our own turn to speak. We miss what’s being said because we’re mentally rehearsing our next utterance. "I would say the cultivation of silence is indispensable to being human."
See you soon!

This week's ART OF NOTICING task has been set by Luke and Rian!
Imbue Your World With Spirits: Practice a Shinto-influenced take on noticing by maintaining “a single point of concentration.” … We can imbue everything with a little spirit (or soul)… focus on one thing, and search for the “sacred” within it.
All the best,
Jenna
