Intentional Curiosity: Get your Brain to Focus on What Matters
#Productivity #DeepWork #Focus
Our brains are constantly balancing curiosity and focus, and the trick is learning to make them work together. The attention system that once helped us survive now gets hijacked by endless notifications and distractions. But with a few smart habits - like removing distractions, being mindful of what pulls our focus, and allowing intentional mind-wandering - we can train curiosity to keep us on track. 🧠 Instead of fighting every distraction, we can learn to guide our attention, making focus feel more natural and even enjoyable.

The Paradox of 'Just Do It'

• The idea of "Just Do It" sounds great, but for creatives, it’s not always that easy.

• The gap between what we want to create and what we can actually create can feel huge - especially when our ability to observe outpaces our ability to execute.

• This can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and even fear of failing. But making mistakes is part of the process.

• Instead of chasing perfection, the key is to embrace the journey, enjoy creating for its own sake, and trust that every imperfect piece is a step toward growth.

Once you have more clarity and buy-in, you can create a roadmap that actually helps rather than holds you back.
