Haha, ya. That was just me goofing off.

What would help you explore this? Would you like questions or challenges or suggestions or something else?

That's a good question. Once in a while, I wonder if I only post certain things so they stay fresh in my own mind. When I post ideas in my journal, I tend to forget about it in a couple of days. When I post it here, the conversation keeps it in the foreground. I appreciate all the feedback. Maybe the idea just isn't ready for it yet.
Funny how this idea keeps coming up but I still love the idea of writing my own PD book (as in, catered to my life). I think doing that will solidify many of my thoughts and it will result in something that I can share with the community. Something that actually makes sense. My current goal is to set up the outline for my PD book by November 9. I think that's my next truly inspired goal and I have a gut feeling it will lead to the next inspired goal.
That was a good question.

But is anyone ever really just joking?

Do you know what kind of learner you are? As in, visual, experiential, kinesthetic, etc.? It may be that whatever kind, the process of selecting what is personally valuable and writing it down will be one of the tools you need to bring order to knowledge acquisition and then move on to more implementation. I thought the book idea was great the moment Daffy posted it.

Anyway, I don't think ideas need to be fully formed before they're discussed. Maybe then, though, the discussion tends toward picking apart your frustration instead of the idea, because it's more complete.

Don't quite remember what type of learner I am. If auditory digital counts as one, then that's what I am. I'm very internal and I learn best on my own.

Your probably right about the frustrations, although I'm trying not to make them the focus of the discussion. That's just my way of posting though. I present an issue and then (usually) present a solution. Works great in the Financial forum, not so much here.

Edit: I swear to gawd that the website I Will Teach You To Be Rich: Personal finance and entrepreneurship tips from a Stanford graduate is written for me personally. I hit up my Google Reader and there's a new article on that particular blog about optimizing e-mails and communication in general. Now that's what I'm talking about. Clear! Zap. We've got a pulse!
