Nothing is Linear! (On the Fallacy of Time Management) - Have you ever tried to organize just one part of a closet? Step 1: Remove everything from a single shelf Step 2: Pile it all together onto the bed Step 3: Organize the stuff into logical piles all over the bedroom, putting like with like: scarves with scarves, purses with purses, etc. Step 4: Go through each pile. Try on clothes to make sure they still fit, look good, are in style, etc. Make liberal use of trash cans. Step 5: Create another pile for things to give away (or several piles, if you have different people or organizations who should get the stuff.) Step 6: Put it all away, neatly and fully organized. Sounds so logical, so linear. Simply go from Step 1 to Step 6, and achieve your goal for the day. But it doesn't quite work out that way.

Using Creativity & Storytelling to Build Bridges

Thank you for visiting my website. I firmly believe that Creativity and Storytelling are hardwired into the human mind — it’s how we learn, share and define ourselves.
