I've always believed in the power of taking a break when faced with a tough problem, and now I understand the science that explains why it works. ?? Science tells us that our brains operate in two modes when we're learning or solving problems: the focused mode and the diffuse mode. The focused mode is when we're directly concentrating on a task, but sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we hit a wall. That's when the diffuse mode comes into play.????? Taking a break and stepping away from the problem allows our brains to shift gears into this diffuse mode. We might go for a walk, listen to music, or just daydream. During this time, our brain is still working on the problem in the background, making connections we might not see while we're deep in focus mode. It's a bit like having a background app running while we're doing other things.?????? So, next time you feel stuck, remember it's a good idea to step away for a bit. You might be surprised how a break can help you find the answer.??

"Everything is a test." "It's just a game." "Numbers on a screen." "Get out of my sun." These are some of my favorite mantras. They all have a history. Most have meaning only to me. Except the one about the sun. Probably millions of people know that famous scene between Diogenes and Alexander the Great. The exact mantras you choose simply need to: - Come to mind - Create an instant (or near instant) effect And to make sure just the right phrase pops in your head at just the right time, the Memory Palace technique is key. Your biggest breakthroughs will come from using it to deeply instil the wisest and most helpful knowledge... The most useful shortcuts... And the reminder that wherever you are, many others have already been. Remembering that everything is just a test is one of the best because it always flips the script. - Forget a client's name? The test just taught you that you need a better strategy. - Missed a market opportunity? The test just taught you that your pattern recognition's off. Memory training is the key. - Can't recall last quarter's metrics? The test just taught you that number mnemonics are on tap... but for some reason, you aren't using them. Yet. Your brain is running thousands of tests and micro-tests daily. The question is: Are you collecting the data? And are the right mindset "mantras" and information coming to mind when you need them? What are life's tests teaching you about what you should be taking care of (like your memory), but aren't?

?? Upgrade Your Brain (the old-school way, for now!) As I watched my 6-year-old do his (reading) homework the other day, I had a realization. It was like watching a slow-motion version of Neo downloading skills in The Matrix. What’s happening is learning… just a bit slower. It's learning through communication. Right now, by reading this post, my thoughts are being installed in your brain. Whether you like it or not! Sure, it’s probably sitting in "volatile memory" and might be replaced soon, but the fact remains: I’m reprogramming your brain as we speak. Cool, right? ?? It’s never too late (or too early) to start learning. And reading is one of the best ways to upgrade your mental software, something that benefits us at any age. Maybe one day, this process will be lightning-fast with Brain-Computer Interfaces. Neuralink isn’t that far off ????♂? But until then, we’ve got books, and they do the job pretty well! ?? With autumn darkness rolling in here in Norway, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with a good read. Happy upgrading! Here are my top 3 personal empowerment books: 1. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson 2. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman 3. The Naked Leader by David Taylor Happy Monday ?? #Learning #PersonalGrowth #Reading #Neuralink #Books Can’t help but tagging a few other fellow book nerds; Audhild Andersen Randa, Niklas Norin, Kristian Ottestad R?d, Mikael Fl?ysand. Maybe there are a few more good suggestions?

Here’s what prevents you from letting go of your fears: The lack of new learning. Having a phobia is like having a horror movie in your head. Every time you think about the feared thing or action, you play the movie, and the catastrophe unfolds in your mind. ?? You picture how the spider is going to bite you, and you are going to die.?? ?? You picture how the elevator is going to stop, and you are going to suffocate.?? ?? You picture how you are going to get sick and die from some terrifying disease. Certainly, we can’t overcome some of these fears by facing them in reality because it’s not practical. For example, you wouldn’t want to do something that risks your life or is too expensive for you. For these phobias, we'll do imaginative exposure (imagining the worst possible outcome over and over again until anxiety diminishes). But with most fears, we can set behavioral experiments for ourselves and treat the phobia. Side note: yes, the best solution for treating snake or spider phobia would be to go to a terrarium and hold a snake or spider until the fear goes away ?? So instead of avoiding the feared thing, imagine you are a curious scientist experimenting. Follow the steps in the picture and see how it goes—you’ll discover that the monster has no teeth! ------- Like, Comment, Repost, and Follow Tony Baida if you find this useful.

A Journey of Trial and Error of mine There are days when thinking positively feels like an uphill battle. In those moments, I turn to my past – not to dwell on the struggle but to analyze it, like looking at my life on a graph. I trace back my steps, the mistakes, the victories, and everything in between. What did I do when I uplifted myself before? What was the formula that worked? These answers come from within. I stopped seeking validation from others and began reflecting on the last 10 years of my life. It’s a constant trial and error process, whether in business, in becoming the best version of myself, or in my relationships. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and I know I will make more. But I embrace them. Each of us is wired differently. Our brains, our emotions, our heart – they all follow their own unique path. It’s like coding: everyone’s software is different. But when you’re honest with yourself, when you’re true to your own path, life becomes simpler. At the end of the day, it’s all math – a problem to be solved, a journey to be understood. And while I don’t know who needs to hear this, I hope that sharing my truth resonates with someone. Just keep going for you trust me everything is maths and science around us. What do you think?

Odd one out: How “schema theory” can help us make better decisions at work Let’s play a game. From the following lists, identify the odd one out. In each case, which one is different? I suspect that for each, you’ll have your own answers and rationale: # Dog. Parrot. Fish. Dragon. # France. Germany. Japan. Belgium. # Physics. Biology. Chemistry. Mathematics. When you play the odd-one-out game, you’re applying a mental framework known as a schema. A schema is a filtering system that helps you categorize the world you see. It ties things together and labels your perceptions. It translates a world of incoherent, overwhelming sensations, into something that makes sense https://flip.it/tM7oo_

It changed the way I see the universe. Released in 2023, 'The Gravity Guide' (Google Panel: https://g.co/kgs/o8baBTT) was my first self-publishing experiment. I never imagined it would change maps. Of our reader's minds, souls, and energies. It did. For many. The book quickly gained recognition. Ranking in several categories. It was bought in the US, UK, France, Canada, and Spain. The book makes gravity science easy. It starts with everyday experiences, like dropping objects and walking. In the book, we also explore gravity’s history. From early scientists to Einstein’s relativity. 'The Gravity Guide' connects theory to real-life: from GPS to black holes. And, everything in between. Including easy hands-on fun experiments that can be done at home. This exciting exploration of gravity could be your perfect gift. It’s ideal for both adults and children. That my experiment has already unlocked profound insights for many, it’s your turn now. With Christmas near, 'The Gravity Guide' is the perfect gift to spark curiosity and wonder in your lives. I guarantee you that the book will change the way you look at the Matrix.

Stop letting your brain trick you. It's doing it right now. Your mind is a connection-making machine: → Linking random ideas → Spotting hidden patterns → Finding solutions everywhere Sounds amazing, right? Until it's 3 AM and you're replaying that call from 3 PM. Here's the thing about overthinking: It's your brain doing its job too well. Creating problems that don't exist. Finding patterns in random noise. But I've discovered a simple 'hack': Write. Not type. Not text. Actually write. Because when pen hits paper: ? Fuzzy thoughts become clear ? Imaginary problems shrink ? Real solutions emerge The science is simple: Writing forces your racing thoughts onto a single track. Try this now: 1. Grab any piece of paper 2. Write down what's bothering you 3. Ask: "Is this real, or am I creating stories?" I do this every morning. It's turned my overthinking into clear thinking. And the best part? It takes 5 minutes. (Instead of 5 hours of mental loops) P.S. What thought has been living rent-free in your head lately? --- If this hit home, repost ?? it? And give me a follow → Nick Maciag

It is extraordinary how much time is spent thinking rather than writing, acting, or producing. Over the last few weeks, I have written and deleted six editions (approximately 72,000 words) of the last chapter of my thesis on the integration of peatland restoration into common grazing. The challenge was, on the surface, quite simple - summarise and synthesise the findings generated throughout the thesis into a discussion and conclusion. My own findings, of my own research - something I should think I was no stranger to. I wrote, I deleted, I stared, I wrote, deleted, and stared again. I stressed, I fretted, I agonised. I reached several false summits, only for the fog to part enough to see that I'd, in fact, not reached my destination at all. As it parted in front of me, the fog embraced itself behind me, I had no answers as to the route I had come from either. One of the worst parts of this processes was having nothing to show for it. Again, and again. A blank A4 screen. Forcing myself to stare at it, trying to make it work. Finding nothing. Admittedly, the subject was not a simple one (more on that another time). But still, one would think that the last chapter was the home run, where it all made sense by now. Perhaps one of the worst bits was failing, again and again, to reach my own KPIs, my own milestones. Having to quite literally say that the last 12 hours of work cumulated to absolutely nothing on paper - a difficult thing to say to a young family with a toddler and two collies. A difficult thing to say to me, recurringly. Why not settle for something I was mildly content with writing-wise? Get it done? How to sate and stay the voices of guilt and urgency that creep in? Around 72,000 words and 45 hours later, over the holiday season, I found my chapter. I didn't do anything new that night that I hadn't done any other night, but something clicked. Perhaps switching Merlot for Malbec? The rains of relief fell, saturating the dried peatlands of my mind. I wrote, and wrote, and in one night wrote the two chapters that haunted me. It turns out the answer lay in quantum entanglement and quantum physics, which sat on the shelf next to me the whole time, but that's also a story for another day (which I'm keen to tell). Punctuating the last full stop brought with it an immeasurable relief. It reaffirmed a conviction I have thankfully long held but never personally toiled with to such a degree until recently. Thinking is action, thinking is productivity, words are the receipt of that process. The challenge is factoring in, and making space for, thinking in project milestones and KPIs. Give yourself the time to do it, give the team you manage the time to do it. Even if it is 95% thinking and 5% writing. The process is the outcome in this case, terrifying as that may be for the unavoidable instinct to metric and quantify outputs as a project manager or researcher. Making summit happens in a moment, but is entirely impossible without the trek.
