Three Small Things: Change it Up and Re-Energize

This week's Three Small Things is about change for the sake of change; shaking up your routine a bit to wake up your creativity, re-energize yourself and help you see things from a new perspective.

It's all too easy to get caught up in the old, safe and familiar. Often time management can involve creating tools and routines to make everything happen more consistently, but ideally that consistency serves as the solid basis that enables you to do more things that are creative, new and daring-- not the boring crystallization of your work and play into set, stolid stasis.

So, here are a few little things to think about to change it up a bit if you're feeling stale:

  • What is one small thing that you can ask a basic beginner question about in order to learn something new?

  • What is one small thing that you can try for the very first time just to see what it's like?

  • What is one small thing that you always do the same way but can try doing differently just to experiment?

Have fun and have a wonderful weekend! And please comment with your thoughts on these questions, if you are so moved.

Also, in the spirit of changing it up, you might notice that for the very first time there is a picture in today's blog post. I'm experimenting with using images in my post - hope you like it!
