Link: Chuck Newton: Herein Lies The Problem -- I Think!. Wow, Chuck has a great post about the inner workings of the legal mind. How to package it and how to sell it. And how to keep it from driving you crazy. Good stuff. With respect to the latter, it reminds me of Carlos Castaneda's character "Don Juan" and his admonition to his young apprentice regarding "turning off the internal dialog."
Intense exercise often works for me. I agree with Chuck, sometimes all we want is for the "thought machine" to stop. We want to shut off the "mind gorilla" and rest. We want to "take it easy" so that the sound of our own wheels do not drive us crazy. Any knowledge worker (i.e. most of us in the U.S. now) needs to do this so that when we crank the machine back up, it is firing in all cylinders.
These Internet(s) are full of quality mentors. Chuck is one of the best.
I appreciate the mention. As for "mind gorilla" I wish I had thought of that.
