Work with It

Got any trouble getting things done? It's going around. Be charitable and call it creative mind or be clinical and call it ADD, this kind of mind loves to associate. Add a bunch of crazy stimulation and constant interruption and you run into some problems. Nevertheless, the associative mind (my preferred term) is the mind capable of making the creative leaps that are necessary to solve the complex problems of our age. With the help of my clients and friends, my experiences and my psych training, I'm figuring out how to Work with It. The essays (in progress) will tackle topics such as:

Getting Unstuck, Let the Want push the Should, Schedule a Seizable Moment, How to Sync your Brain with Software,

and

How to Tell the Difference between a Distraction and a Connection.
