Parkour is the aim of moving from one location to another as quickly and efficiently as possible. This typically involves overcoming obstacles like park benches, trees, walls and cars. I found this idea especially interesting because of the uncanny similarities between it and productivity (GTD Times also touched on this). You have to have the right mental discipline (no procrastinating or lack of focus), not get distracted by unnecessary activities (vaulting a bar when you don’t need to) and make decisions on how to deal with those obstacles in as stress-free a way as possible. Sound familiar? Can you see any other similarities in this video?
Yeah, it’s a well produced video. Parkour certainly seems interesting. Not sure what sort of reaction I would get if I were to do it around my town though…
