Take a Pause

12 DAYS OF CREATIVITY
DAY 11

The Grinch of Information Overload.

Exhale.

Did you feel that?

When I feel information overload, I find that changing my point of focus can get me back to consciousness.

SO IF YOU FEEL INFORMATION OVERLOAD TODAY, TAKE A PAUSE.

Go for a walk, listen to a song, read the spines of the books on your bookshelf ,get up and chop vegetables (anyone who has gone through The Pause will remember my fondness for chopping veggies when I write),.

Because I’ve been curating my influences I’m less overwhelmed by the news these days and more overwhelmed by my own project research.

So having a set of go-to ideas for non-creative activities helps me when I lose my focus.

What activity can you add to your day to help you when you are feeling a sense of overwhelm?

When you feel information overload, take a break, and experience the power of the pause.
