Go Thinking!

Day to day mundane activities and reacting to normal workplace issues keep us away from thinking. I have experienced this myself. I feel a need to think about deeper issues, need to look at the larger perspective, relate different happenings, think about workplace improvement, think about initiatives that are critical for the organization – and then get dragged away in meetings and interruptions.

Jeffrey Phillips at Thinking Faster blog suggests:

“So, rather than answer every problem or take up every challenge or solve every dispute, go close your door.  Put up a sign on the door that says “Gone Thinking” or something else like that, and spend a hour or so every day actually doing what you are paid to do – use the deeper cortexes to actually create something new or novel, or look at a problem in a completely different way.”

Go thinking!
