Hello everyone welcome to my weekly audio journal.
Today I'd like to share an idea written by Paul Graham. What is the best way to solve a creative challenge? It is to think about it, stew on it, brainstorm about it and think about it so much that eventually the solution comes to light. Essentially that creative challenge has become top of mind for you and so what is currently top of mind for you? What do you think about when you're in the shower? What unconsciously pops up? What do you catch yourself thinking throughout the day?
Paul Graham mentions that there are two things that are essentially black holes. One is about money and the other is about disputes. If you are always worried about money or emotional disputes. How is it then that there is any space for any creative challenges? Allow yourself to become aware of this and throughout the day catch yourself, if you were thinking about one or the other. Unless it's particularly urgent try to shift yourself, back to a creative challenge. Consciously pick the creative challenge to be top of mind.
Thank you everyone for listening.
