“I have now gone without news for four years, so I can see, feel and report the effects of this freedom first-hand: less disruption, less anxiety, deeper thinking, more time, more insights. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.”

“Chris Payne from the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) was in Vancouver in 2010. “The experience was hugely valuable for many reasons, but I think two stand out,” says Payne. “First, the organisation of the Olympic Games is more art than science, with so many subtleties driven by such a complex stakeholder community. Experience is hugely beneficial in dealing with this. Furthermore, I think the best way to learn is to assume responsibility and take on a role, rather than visit and observe.” Payne says the biggest lesson he learnt was to expect the unexpected: “I was shocked by how little snow ended up on the ground at Cypress Mountain given the amount that was there just a couple of months before. The process that the Vancouver Organising Committee (VANOC) went through to deal with this threw up a huge amount of learning. “Perhaps the biggest single lesson was the importance of a willing ‘can-do’ attitude. No one aspect is more important than any other; everything is interconnected in delivering such a complex event and everyone must be willing to help everyone else, at all levels.””

“Well, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, described them as a “menace”, and I can’t see that they do any good. They do eat a lot of rats. Who knows what London’s rodent problem would be like without 10,000 urban foxes patrolling the streets.”

“Furthermore, many of these objects can damage you personally. The hours you waste stumbling over your piled debris, picking, washing, storing, re-storing, those are hours and spaces that you will never get back in a mortal lifetime. Basically, you have to curate these goods: heat them, cool them, protect them from humidity and vermin. Every moment you devote to them is lost to your children, your friends, your society, yourself. It’s not bad to own fine things that you like. What you need are things that you GENUINELY like. Things that you cherish, that enhance your existence in the world. The rest is dross.”
