What thoughts add value? Breadth of general knowledge, imagination, and analogies help us think better.
Thinking positively allows space for solutions instead of just saying no.
Imagine having an 'impossible' problem and solving it.
1. Research shows that spending 12 minutes planning your day can save 120 minutes of time.
2. Build 'thinking time' into your day. Disney CEO Bob Iger keeps a mental list to consider during his thinking time.
3. Use a phone app (e.g. Notes), self-text, or small notebook to store 'brainstorms' for later use and optimization.
4. Some ideas marinate over time. Author Carol Joyce Oates puts articles aside for months to allow 'fresh eyes' during revision.
5. Author Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code) says that "good writers know when their writing is bad." Investing time isn't enough. Be fully engaged at whatever you're doing.
Lagniappe. To think better, study how information impacts us.
Application. Make choices. Almost every year Melrose needs to 'replace' 300-500 kills lost from graduating seniors. Coach Scott Celli and staff decide whether to retool the offense (realign the attack), reposition players, or focus on player development of other attackers. Those are coaching decisions.
As a player, create value for yourself (skill and athleticism) and the team. The videos here and elsewhere show you avenues to improvement.
Lagniappe 2. "We make our habits and our habits make us."
“How you do anything is how you do everything.”
