I’m getting stale: haven’t had a new idea or original thought for ages. Neuroscientist Gregory Burns (iconoclast: a neuroscientist reveals how to think differently) writes about the two key inhibitors of novel thinking- familarity and fear. So I’m setting myself a challenge for the month of February. Every day, I will do something unfamiliar; break out of routines; challenge my own fear factors; go new places, try new things. The results will be posted here or on Twitter (francinecampone). Follow along or, even better, join in by adding your own comments and blah-breakers. Today’s new territory- admitting in public that I’m getting stale!
