We moved this week...BLAH!!!!!! While I am SO thankful to my in-laws for letting us stay with them along with take over their garage with our things I am missing MY home. Its difficult to go from doing our "own" thing to having others in the house...or better yet us in their home. I have a BIG problem with change. I hope it gets better once we get into our routine.
SO week 13...we are ALMOST DONE!!!!!=]
"Write a brief blog reflecting your own thought process and strategies
and exploring how that might be different from others (or the same). How
will it benefit you in reaching your readers? Or challenge you? If you
are trying to reach readers from a specific culture, how might you alter
the way you share your message?"
I am a little scatter brained when it comes to my thought process. I have a little saying I usually say when I've made a comment and get that "WHAT???" look from people: "It sounded good in my head."
I have TONS of thoughts that are in there and sometimes ok most of the time its hard for me to put them in order and S.L.O.W. down. We think I have ADHD. I have a very very very difficult time staying on task and often trail off and have to come back. I think I need to learn to slow down and take one thing on at a time so I can relate to my readers a more. I am pretty open to hearing new strategies and ways of doing things so people from different cultures are encouraged to give me insight into how I could do things differently.
I think being scatter brained is often a tendency for more creative thinkers since our minds our connecting so many things at one. I disdain labeling so I wouldn't call you ADHD, but instead would say you are using relational thinking processes. Letting your thoughts flow (like in our free-writing exercise awhile back) and then streamlining them later might be helpful.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that this week is going to be busy. I don't like moving out too because it takes time to settle down and get use to, to a new place. I wouldn't label you with ADHD, what happens is that we want to identify or name everything we do or have. I think that sometimes we do need time to organize our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI label ADHD because I had no other word for it. My brother has been diagnosed with ADD,ADHD, and ODD.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the free writing and coming back to it later does help.
