Stress : Worry

It's tough to be creative when you are filled with worry. If you are worrying about your grade on a project or how your boss is going to react to your ideas, you are going to have a difficult time getting into a creative mindset. You need to be able to completely free your mind in order to have the flexibility to go into unfamiliar territory and find innovative ideas. Here is one technique to reduce your worry about the outcome of a project.



Gather all the Facts

Without all the facts, there is no way to know how to move forward. Most worry occurs because you are uncertain about what direction to take on a particular task. The more facts you have, the more certain you will be. If you need to make a decision at the end of the week, don't even think about the decision until Friday. Spend the whole week objectively gathering all the information that you can about the decision. When Friday comes along, you will probably find that the facts have already made the decision for you.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Suppliant

sup-pli-ant



adj :: Asking humbly beseeching.



"Soon afterward he came up to a Shepherd and fawned upon him, wagging his tail as if to say, 'I am a suppliant, and seek your aid.'" -- Aesop

Memory : The Link Method

The link method is a simple way to remember a list of items in order.



Suppose you have to do a few chores such as drop off the kids at school, go to the bank, and then do some grocery shopping. Try linking these items together in a little story: "I'm going to drop the kids off at the bank because they can crawl through the slot in the teller window and pick out the groceries from inside the vault."

The more unusual the story, the more likely you are to remember it!



With practice, it's possible to quickly remember at least a dozen items using this method, and it also gives you a chance to stretch your creativity by thinking up crazy stories.
