No feature image today, just the gallery above. Linda prompts us with the following: Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “out of the box.” Write about the first thing that comes to mind when you think “out of the box.” Enjoy! HERE are the rules & ping back if you want to join in the fun & frolic. Now I’ll toss in my two cents.
No longer #JusJoJan but Just no! Out of the box is the most overused, cliche phrase, flavor of the month, corporate speak that I’ve ever heard. Right up there with color outside the lines. And while I get we need new strategies, each of us has a part to play. Maybe my part is being inside the box keeping the trains running?
My, my Jilly! Aren’t you a gripey gus today. And I am. But I don’t want to be so let’s see, what’s inside the box where I keep all my self help strategies.
There’s this … writing, releasing the hounds. With #JusJoJan, I’m doubling down while continuing my usual fodder. This made my stats go up & I usually don’t look at those but yesterday I did and wow. Then there’s reading. I’ll cruise around the blogosphere to read some gems & if time allows pop onto my Kindle to pick not one but two books of the month for Prime members. I might even start on some books in my TBR queue. Yep, going to make this a ‘me’ day just like every other.
Wishing you a sensational Saturday!
As always, more to come.
‘Me’ days are essential! They’re too often infrequent. 😉

Best wishes on the day, Jill. I used to hate that out-of-the-box corporate speak. I found that out-of-the-box thinkers were usually made to feel out to lunch.

It takes all kinds. I’m glad for the strategists. We need them. I’m just more of a tactical worker.

Having worked for a government agency with limited funds, sometimes we had to “think outside the box” to hold events for employees. But other than that, we had plenty of boxes to sit in, much like my cats. Enjoy your reading today, Jill, whether it’s in blogs or in books.

Yep outside the box has its purpose. Better outside the box than we’re going on a journey. Or I’m not going to drain the slides. And so many other corporate speak phrases. My reading today has been sublime so far.

I have never heard of colour outside the lines…. Could it be similar to Blue Sky thinking….
