Hold That Thought

Does it make sense?


The answer is Yes. And No.

This week I've been thinking about seeing things from other perspectives. Here are three things on that theme to help turn overthinking into expert thinking:

  1. It's the number one question I get from creatives, coaches, and small business owners. So I came up with a great way to get a real answer
  2. In the run-up to launching Sense Check (that's today!), I've been sharing non-obvious practical tips on LinkedIn. Like this one about naming your calendar events. Or this one about getting the order right. Or the two types of email I aim for.
  3. The Goose in the Bottle – A wonderfully infuriating reflection on how we overcomplicate things, from Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks

Extra thoughts…

This week's unthinking link is about the scale of time (10-minutes, YouTube). It's not a mindless link, but rather unthinking in that awe-inspiring way that makes your mind race and then go blank. It's that feeling of learning, of yearning to go outside, of wanting to make the most of things.

What sense do you make of all this?
