Hmm… interesting

03How to Improve

›Focus|›Relationships|›Energy|›Stimuli|›Hours|

Get a clear and concrete understanding; remove complexity; challenge everything and anything

Engage with others; start a circle; be generous; work out loud (WOL); avoid creativity assassins

Manage it; take time to recharge; take care of yourself; step away from the screen

Be curious & thirsty; ‘garbage in, garbage out’; manage distractions; make notes and save ideas

Spend effectively; don’t indulge in ‘snapshot productivity’; cluster activities/tasks; have ‘idea time’ and a ‘think list’
