i think i need to take it easy and take a step back. thats the key. i always try to do it all at once and lose patience or energy and give up. always wanting to be the best or get stuff done but then never getting it done. i love my boyfriend and i dont want to lose him. he is patient. i hope he stays patient with me.
One of the most remarkable characteristics of Sherlock Holmes was his power of throwing his brain out of action and switching all his thoughts on to lighter things whenever he had convinced himself that he could no longer work to advantage.
Forcing your mind to take a step back is a tough thing to do. It seems like giving up.. to walk away from a problem that you want to solve. or learn something and try and drill it in your brain. i discovered this tonight and last night i learnt about the Zeigarnik effect. which is when people remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed tasks. The Zeigarnik effect suggests that students who suspend their studying, during which they do unrelated activities (such as studying unrelated subjects or playing games), will remember material better than students who complete study sessions without a break.
anyway the greatest genius is that who loves loves loves... and i think thats what ill stick to becoming.
