I've been trying to brainstorm ideas on paper lately before committing to an approach on how to solve a problem.

Experience Life as a Beginner

I'm nearly four years into my challenge of hacking my brain to be successful at working remote with Attention Deficit Disorder.

There's one repeated concept that always comes up in my practice - my past experiences both help and hinder my progress. The key is being able to experience life as a beginner.

Beginners have a great platform to learn knew things. First off they realize they have a set of things they need and want to learn. There is motivation to better yourself and usually a fairly well defined place to gain the knowledge from. Beginners have (or will quickly) admit they don't have all the answers. Those of us with experience trying to learn new things may think we understand things well enough. We're not open to seeing things as a whole.

I love that you can add energy to anything at Sonic. I am feeling a bit run down today - still have a cold - so I juiced up a Cherry Limeaid with Energy!
