I've found myself relating more of my kendo practice to the rest of my day to day life lately. Concepts such as <em>Zanshin (loosely translated to focus) </em>are important even outside the dojo. My dojo's sensei, Victor Harris, explained a breakdown of <em>Zanshin </em>into 3 aspects: the initial <em>Zanshin </em>of preparation, that of execution (of the cut in the the Kendo context) and the <em>Zanshin </em>of finishing up, for the next task.

Continual correct practice could lead to a perpetual cycle of focused activity. Taken into my every day life as a software developer and student of life, I find a lot of time is spent without much focus. Applying this concept to simple day to day activities helps one trim the fluff, so to speak, and promote consciousness of one's environment and the tasks at hand. Focus and analyse the problem at hand, approach the task heartily and survey your work on completion.
