The art of selective ignorance

In a previous post, I shared how I often begin my mornings by daydreaming. I take the time to let my mind drift and my imagination run wild—and that’s often when my best ideas arrive.

In response, a reader asked, “How do you afford to devote time to daydreaming, when the world is moving so fast?”

The vision came out of nowhere.

I had just woken up and was lying in bed with my eyes closed, letting my mind drift.

Andy Weir is one of my favorite sci-fi authors.

If his name doesn’t ring a bell, his novel-turned-blockbuster-film, The Martian, should.

A simple way to get unstuck

My high school soccer coach had a saying that I love: If you’re not in possession, get in position. 

In other words, if you don’t have the ball, move to a different place on the field where you’ll be open to receive the ball.

The same principle applies to you.
