    Thank you ~ I've been looking for a better way to keep facts and ideas for my new podcast. Recording facts and ideas in my notebook hasn't been working out as later I waste time looking for and even worse, I forget completely until it's too late. I think the sticky notes in my binder will be what I try.

    This is really helpful as I am trying to put together an art portfolio. I have tons of projects that are 80% finished. They stop feeling creative and fun and this is when another idea typically pops in my head and I set the current project aside so I can get those endorphins again from the beginning of the creative process. Thank you for explaining it so well. It makes sense why so many people have great ideas, and so few people are able to realize them.

    Glad this was helpful! I hope it guides you toward finishing a project or two that is deeply meaningful for you. Learning how to withstand the pain as we enter the narrow of the funnel will give you so much confidence and self-understanding.

    Thank you very much, Cynthia, this was very helpful! I've always felt somehow that index cards are a great organizing tool, but just needed some implementation examples. And thanks to you I've got two crucial points externalized: 1). Analog tools (like index cards are) and media (e.g. printed books) are incomparably better and more efficient for work in a higher level thinking mode. 2). Digital tools indeed easily fragment attention and energy!

    I would love to hear more examples of how you have used these for various protected. I also love/suffer project idea expansion and my brain bursts with inventions/systems/organization. Index cards seem a good way to visualize a huge concept map, while being editable, and able to stack away when company comes.

    LOL, watching how they grew one cup in less than a month was admittedly shocking, I used what I talked about the other day, and well it actually took about 6 weeks for them to totally grow by two cups, I just go’ogled Mika Klopsworth's Breast Guide and now the looks I get are so worth it.

    The fluctuating between the top, and the narrow part of the funnel are similar to someone with bi-polar disorder! Lol I wouldn’t say I have bipolar issues, but I go through times when I do fluctuate. I simply call it a rutt. Once I realize that I’m not completing any of my many projects I have to get myself out of it, and get back on track. Along with the usual housework I have numerous craft, and sewing projects I hope to complete. Not completing them is very discouraging, and the only way I know to feel better is to snap myself out of it, and complete something, and then continue to make another.
