2022-04-23 09:00:00 How do you become an innovator?

Only 30% of creativity is genetically determined, which means it can be developed.

What sets innovators apart from ordinary people is their innovative courage and five advanced research skills.

The first of the five research skills is a cognitive skill called association.

Associating helps to open up new directions by connecting questions, ideas and problems that seem to have nothing in common.

The remaining skills are behavioural in nature. They are asking questions, observing, networking and experimenting.

To develop research skills, you need to think about your priorities, assess your research skills, identify your motivation for developing them, and work on them. Open / Comment

2022-04-22 19:00:01 So what do you need to do to develop your personality?

Study, learn new skills, play sports and interesting and creative activities, and make your life and the lives of others better.

It's your work on your body and mind that makes you a greater person, and of course, different from others.

The key question here is not what to do, but how to do it. And a lot of books and articles have been written about how to do it — how to work on yourself, how to develop yourself. And each of these books and articles offers a different recipe for personal development, although many of them are similar. Open / Comment

2022-04-22 16:00:01 Result-oriented statements

One of the biggest "diseases" of time management is imitation work. The crux of the problem is that people often do their tasks only formally, trying not to expend effort or "exert willpower" on them.

Reword your tasks so that they imply a specific and verifiable result.

Result-oriented formulations can be used in almost any time-management technique. They will be useful in a to-do list or schedule, in an Eisenhower matrix, in a task list for a project, etc. Open / Comment

2022-04-22 09:00:01 Tricks from psychologists to stop procrastinating and finally get things done

It turns out that all we need is a to-do system.

A system for living a productive life:

Motivate yourself to complete each task.
Set deadlines for yourself at every stage.
Being accountable to a friend or mentor.
Working/studying at intervals.
Avoidance of distractions.
A healthy diet.
A 30-minute daily exercise routine.

The most important point is motivation. We will always have things we don't like to do, but their level of usefulness for our development is usually high. So before you take up another activity, ask yourself a simple question: "What am I doing this for?" The answer to that will be the best inspiration for you. Open / Comment

2022-04-21 19:00:01 When you feel like snapping, tell yourself

"I'm only going to make it through today. Tomorrow you can do what you want to do. Today is the day you have to endure."

Recall how many times you thought you needed to change something temporary at home? "Let it lie until tomorrow." But that "until tomorrow" can last for years.

You can last weeks on this method. During that time, you will have already developed a habit. And so imperceptibly you'll do something you've been hesitant to do for a long time Open / Comment

2022-04-21 15:00:01 How not to lose motivation

Acknowledge the problem and ask the key question. Ignoring the problem only contributes to our desire to get off track. Merely say, "I don't feel good. I'm frustrated and want to give up." Then ask yourself: "Do I really want to give up or is there a good reason why I can get back on track?"

The key idea of the method is this: your mood determines whether you get off track or get back on track.

If you have such a reason, think of something simple that you can do. For example, you used to do meditation, but you stopped doing it. Can you right now meditate for 30 seconds? 10 seconds? If you quit the exercise habit, take two minutes right away to do some exercise.

If you have succeeded in the first step, you have achieved success. You have got over yourself. It's a victory, and victories always improve your mood. Do something every day that gets you closer to your goal. Open / Comment

2022-04-21 09:00:00 The "Do what scares you" method

When you do what's scary, that's when you get the strongest self-development effect.

Overcoming fear activates personal growth in all areas of your life. You become stronger mentally and physically.

So, do the things you are "scared" to do first, it could be a big task for the day or a new project you don't even know how to start. That's what scares you - the unknown.

Just go ahead and do it, then you will have a new experience and the fear will go away on its own. Open / Comment
