Great thread. I always run out of ideas for targets.
I didn't see any about emotion or state of mind. I find these are very helpful. In particular,
state of mind:
- feeling agitated, upset, annoyed
- worrying
- ruminating
- planning/problem-solving
I try to choose some targets that I know I'll hit, and some that I may not. I also try to spread them out so that some will be soon, some mid-day, and some in the evening.
I try to choose targets where my attention is usually focused on the action and I'm typically not mindful. Busy / bustling experiences, like: boarding a crowded bus or train (that first step off the pavement onto the vehicle.
Putting the key into the lock when you come home
I also would keep 4 active targets: when I realize one was hit/missed, I'd replace it with a new one (although I tend to not eliminate misses, I leave them around for another chance).
p.s. for me, ala TYoDaS, the goal is to make *all* experience the occasion for increased presence and lucidity. But these are a great way to start.
