Gary,
I believe tomorrow is just another way of looking at today. I think we
need to do "all of this" at once. My students asked me what I thought.
My response was to observe that at any particular time I seem to both
seek generalizastions, use generalizations, identify a context, apply and
investigate past experience and present problems. I find it very
difficult to freeze and focus my brain on just one part of the
learning/doing.
At best I can set a goal of responding primarily to one particular part
of the whole process. I drift, however, to the most interesting (to me,
at the time) part, often to the distraction of other workers, wh drift
differently.
