A BUSY BRAIN STRATEGY

LILLIBRIDGE priorities choices

This morning my friend, Marita and I discussed the need to unclutter our busy brains. I’ve found when I employ this strategy—it really helps. In the morning if I make a list of my priorities/values and say to myself that I will only:
1. read
2. click through
3. listen to
4. seek out
information that has me closer to reaching my daily goals that I’m way more satisfied at the end of the day. Try it. Just like everything else it takes practice and daily reminders. You might be amazed at how empowering it can be to act more deliberately. The irony of blogging about this when I’m asking you to not pay attention isn’t lost on me. 🙂

High Praise for Narrow Mindedness

in·ten·tion
inˈtenCHən/
noun
plural noun: intentions

1.
a thing intended; an aim or plan.
“she was full of good intentions”

This painting reminds me of too often what my brain feels like—going different directions, no singular path, no intention set and therefore no thought map for the day. We think of “narrow minded” as a negative term. In this day and age I think it is the smartest path if it means you aren’t wasting time on media that isn’t getting you closer to your goals.

I am setting an intention to narrow my focus. My desire is to block the “noise” that isn’t educating me on topics that need my most urgent attention. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, lets try. Send me a note with your intention. Sometimes just telling someone makes it seem more real. Good Luck on your quest to become more narrow minded.
