Spider-like, bee-like, river-like…

This week I've been thinking about what happens when you do something different. Here are three things on that theme to help turn overthinking into expert thinking:

1. What happens when you admit what is obvious – how Every's Dan Shipper discovered he was more of a writer than a founder.
   ​
2. What happens when you hold your tongue – it took over ten years and 6000 miles to temper the cultural tendencies of my upbringing, and I found some unexpected benefits.
   ​
3. What happens when you think of all that stuff to do in rivers, not buckets – from Sketchplanations​

Extra thoughts…

For me, what happens is that I have more energy and solve the 'not enough time' problem. I start looking at my to-do list like a menu. I shift the overthinking to deep thinking. I play and make infinite craft.

What happens to you?
