Every Thursday I share three useful things to help you turn your overthinking into expert thinking.

I thought about this a lot, and decided that week’s picks will be a bit different…they're all unfinished in some way.

Doing this is a reminder to myself and to others that you are not failing, you are successfully iterating.

Without further ‘do’, here are three things of value, all in progress:

1.

I made a 5-minute video about strengths. It has no subtitles, no editing, and no images yet. It's worth sharing now because I believe in this work immensely and I want to get the message out there. Watch the video and get started with Strengths​

​

2.

“By eliciting fear in a safe setting, horror fiction presents an opportunity for audiences to hone their emotion regulation skills” — from Pandemic Practice by Scrivner et al., 2021.

Turns out, I've been practicing so much these past several years that I was more than capable of making an overthinker's guide to horror films — great for those who don't like or understand the genre…yet.

The list itself is complete, but the links and descriptions will be filled in further as this spooky month unfolds:

3.

This is the challenge with themes…to be consistent, you gotta stick to them. I struggled against time and the unexpected in my search for an unfinished creative work to round out this newsletter, so I leave you with this wise old gem instead:

Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good (enough) ​
​— Voltaire, Aristotle, Pareto, and many others (Wikipedia)​

​

(un)concluding thought…

From La Sagrada Família to the International Space Station, some work is never done.

And that's ok!

If this week were its own self-contained universe, what would be your unfinished masterpiece? Reply and let me know. Or recommend a thought-provoking film.
