But far from being sad about it, I am excited! The first 40 have been great, and I plan on making the next 40 even better.

Happy birthday to me!

Improvise: How to React to Ding Moments

  1. Great creativity comes not from being full of ideas, but from being empty, observant, and in the moment
  2. When Ding Happens, saying, “yes, but” is whining. “Yes, And” leads to proactive solutions.
  3. You can laugh or cry; your choice won’t change the situation. So why not laugh?
  4. High emotion blocks creativity. So take a minute to calm the heck down before you take stupid action out of fear.
  5. To increase productivity, decrease stress, and improvise effectively, focus on what you can control and let go of the rest.
  6. The ultimate goal of the improviser is artistic self-expression (paraphrased from BruceLee)
  7. Improvising quickly about training reflexes; anyone can do it. It just takes practice.
