How did the 'process over product' concept affect the way you tackled the site redesign and rebuild?

I think my awareness of my perfectionism has improved. I did however spend too long dwelling over colors and divisions.

What did you think about meditation before reading chapter 2?

I've had some previous experience practicing meditation. I found it vital and important for my own wellbeing. Although I've always found meditation difficult during the times I've attempted. It's being more useful at times when I'm relatively calm.

What new things have you learnt about meditation?

He really has outlined a great method to develop mindfulness. I hadn't really explored the idea of meta-attention. In the past, I had difficulty with being distracted. This was especially problematic during times of study.

If a distraction occurs, or your mind wanders, this can be used:

1. Acknowledge

2. Experiencing, without judging or reacting

3. If you need to react, continue maintaining mindfulness

4. Let it go

Did any of the suggested meditation techniques stand out to you?

Yes. My meta-attention has improved and I intend to be more aware of it. It's very handy and vital to my mind training.

Any other musings?

This is being a good experience for me and I hope to incorporate Mindfulness and Meditation practices into my schedule.
