RULE 57

Don’t get bogged down

It doesn’t matter how free your thinking is, how well you’ve managed to step clear of the ruts, there will still be times when the solution to your problem just doesn’t seem to be forthcoming. You’ve focused your mind as much as you can, and it doesn’t seem to have worked. Well, if that’s the case, stop focusing. Put your hands in the air and step away from the problem.

I occasionally like to do a crossword. I’m not very good at them, and one of the reasons is that I’m not naturally a patient person. I’ll puzzle away at a clue for a minute or two, and then decide there are better things to be doing so I’ll go and do them instead. Sometimes, though, I might go back to the crossword again later in the evening.
