Tinkering with ideas and with things releases your mind to wander from a state of stuckness into a possibility frame of mind, triggering neural connections and new insights. A fascinating tour through brain wavelengths and rhythm, mindsets, and mental relaxation, Tinker Dabble Doodle Try demonstrates how specific kinds of planned unfocus stimulate cognitive calmness, jumpstart productivity, enhance innovation, inspire creativity, improve long-term memory, and, of course, help you stay on target. Drawing on the latest brain research, compelling stories from his psychological practice, and colorful examples of counterintuitive success from sports, business, education, and the arts, neuroscientist Srini Pillay, M.D., challenges traditional ideas about productivity, revealing the lasting, positive benefits of adding deliberate and regular unfocus to your repertoire. We rely on to-do lists, calendar reminders, noise-blocking headphones, and sometimes medication to help us concentrate-even though these tactics often fail to substantially improve productivity. To finish tasks and achieve goals, most people believe that more focus is the solution. Come Dabble and Doodle with me.Harness your mind's innate tendency to wander, stall, rest, and unfocus and become more productive-in the boardroom, living room, or classroom. There are many things that I have tried and look forward to trying. I am pursuing a degree in art and visual communications with an emphasis in illustration.Ĭreativity has always been a passion of mine. Thinking of new projects is something that I am always doing and my creative spirit is lucky to have a job at a popular craft store where I work part time while attending university. I was blessed to serve for a year with amazing people!
After my first year of college I found myself heading to South Carolina to help with welfare services for the LDS church and family history work. It was always a goal of mine to serve for my church. Originally born in Arizona, my family moved a lot when I was a child, but I have been lucky to call Utah my home for more than 15 years now. Most of my life has been spent living in Utah.
It is tough being the eldest of 4 siblings with an eight-year gap between myself and the next oldest, my brother. The opportunities to dabble and doodle are endless!
There are also monthly challenges like “Mermay” and “Inktober”. There are many creative ways to re-purpose old or cheap supplies into new beautiful things, as well as the more traditional crafts of knitting and crocheting, scrapbooking, jewelry-making, and others.Īrt challenges are another area with lots of opportunities to dabble! A few of my favorites are the non-dominant hand challenge, blindfold challenge, and mouse drawing challenge. There are millions of crafts out there, meaning there are millions of things to try and learn.
