I must not be trying hard enough. :lol: Rapid thought process is a trait of most people with above average intelligence. Typically speaking the higher the intelligence the more rampant the mind runs with thoughts and ideas. It is also something you can train your mind to do. It is simply changing your thought process to a larger percentage of outgoing info than incoming. If you are focused on all the incoming information you are spending a lot of computing resources in your mind for analyzing of what is coming in. As things go out you have to remove a few filters and just throw them out in more of a matter of instinct vs thought. I react instinctively first. If I can't respond at a high rate of speed from instinct than I fall back n more traditional roads of thought searching through the many files in my brain and cross referencing with like information until I am able to produce a coherent reaction. I find by focusing on creating it becomes easier for me to absorb the incoming and file it places that allow for random access versus engaging the processor to perform a search. For example most of this was written with out much real thought but just what popped into my head. A lot of the things that I throw out I could back up with facts but I don't trivialize my mind with having to remember where it came from, just that it is there for my use. the advantage the brain has over a computer is can learn with out having to register what it is learning with whom it was learned from. No licensing agreements, no registrations, but a hell of a lot of SPAM. I am sure very little of this will make sense because even as I wrote it I though to myself "What?" Happy Friday to all. Have a great weekend. This has a been a rambling madman moment brought to you be me. :cool: <em>Jim - Just a Guy's last blog post..<a href='http://thedudesdad.blogspot.com/2008/03/why-i-will-never-be-considered-good.html' rel="nofollow">Why I Will Never Be Considered A Good Blogger</a></em> Only 20.

Always great to see your comments here, especially since you do spark conversation, just like you mention yourself already, thank your for that ;) My BF always laughs at/with my vivid and rapid mind and imagination, my thoughts are always on different subjects and ideas, like watching a screen scrolling up and down, but they say that is normal in women :lol: :lol: Have a great weekend :wink: Hey Jim!

I am always looking for ways to simplify. "Keep It Simple Stupid" is my mantra. I find however that like for most of us I am my own worst enemy. I have extreme ADD. My mind is constantly wandering around and multitasking on its own, more like an instinctual process vs a thought process. So my daily battle is fighting my instincts and being more structured. I do all of this with out medication that would normally be recommended for some one like me. There are benefits and drawbacks. I benefit by being ablr to rpidly brainstorm several ideas that have brilliant beginnings but rarely am I able to follow those ideas to a conclusion as I wind up going off on one or more tangents. My biggest challenge is remaining focused on a singular issue or idea and maintaining that focus long enough to complete the thought. I much more of a conversationalist than a traditional editorialist. Probably why I spend so much time responding to comments on the stuff I write. I like to throw out ideas that spark conversation. It is in that conversation that we learn from each other. Another solid article keep it up. <em>Jim - Just a Guy's last blog post..<a href='http://thedudesdad.blogspot.com/2008/03/off-in-my-own-little-world.html' rel="nofollow">Off In My Own Little World</a></em> I The book sounds good.

Great to see you here again! My comment on your blog actually stemmed from this book... since it is about achieving simplicity in life, cutting down and stepping away from multitasking, not doing too many things at the same time, but only focus on one thing at hand, small steps that you can actually make, setting yourself up for success rather than repeated failure by trying to do too much;) As far as "yet another ebook" ... that is exactly why I was doubting so much before buying it... most books just end up in the trash at the end, but so far, I am not complaining about this one, completely the opposite! ;) Thanks for commenting!

Don't do too much at the same time. I think I have read too many e-books already. It takes me a lot of time to read all those books. It turns out that most of the books are talking about the same thing after all. I think it's very important to digest all those ideas and thoughts from the book and actually go DO IT. Reading a book don't get your anywhere near success. :-) <em>The Internet Entrepreneur Diary's last blog post..<a href='http://www.terencechang.com/2008/03/05/work-hard-play-hard-my-confession-of-guiltiness/' rel="nofollow">Work Hard & Play Hard - My confession of guiltiness</a></em> Mirjam:
