Clarity I

As part of my Younger Project I've been working with Christine Kane at Uplevel You and reading her blog. Here she talks  about a practice of focus for getting business results.   http://tinyurl.com/m8vtvg9
She talks a lot about clarity and I find this very helpful. Clarity for me is:

• How many by when?
• What exactly needs to happen to do this?
• What are the components of this package, presentation, campaign
• What is the purpose of this activity, conversation, appointment?

As a creative, my mind flits about and sees possibilities, ideas, and shiny new objects. Then I get overwhelmed with thoughts of what to do first, what about this, what about that?   I find that writing helps me to clarify my thoughts about all sorts of things. Here's a quote from Christine's Blog about writing and clarity:

"1. First off, the ritualistic act of uninterrupted writing teaches you how to focus.

2. Clarity comes from writing.  Nope, the many voices that constantly drone on and on in your brain is NOT thinking.  THAT would be noise.  When you write, you slow your mind down enough to acknowledge where you are, recognize what you’ve accomplished, and see what’s challenging you.  This level of clarity is vital."
