Intensity Varies

by Scot Herrick on June 7, 2007

Vary your IntensityI don’t know about you, but I get lost in the weeds of life. Often. Don’t you? You will be writing away and find out two weeks went by and nothing else was done. We’re intense. Focused. Productive.

But we shouldn’t be. At least all of the time.

I’ve been focusing on few things over the last year. Gotten a lot of stuff done. But, it hasn’t been very rewarding.

Vacation has borne that out. Getting away from it all has helped ground me and helped my creativity. It’s not just the vacation. It is, for me, working on a variety of different things, moving each of them forward that aids in creativity. Not just being focused. Varying the intensity of what I work on increases my creativity.

When you work on your publishing, then on the seminar you are developing, then on the technical aspects of your web site, then on your publishing, and then on your queries you come to see how all of them are interconnected.

That helps my creativity.

Of course, working on a variety of things can mean you get nothing done. But that’s a different problem.
