Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep grinding at the same problem at my desk, and the harder I stare the more stuck it gets
- I’ve been hammering at the same problem for an hour and I can feel myself wearing the same groove deeper
- I need to come up with a whole range of options — names, angles, ways in — and staring at the blank page I keep circling the same two or three.
- A few hours into deep work my focus is just shot — I’m rereading the same line and nothing’s landing — and pushing through only makes it worse.
- Sometimes I need a walk to fire me up and jolt the ideas loose, and other times I need it to slow my mind down enough to actually reflect
