@Evan No I haven’t head of that book .. but I’ll certainly look it up!

@Hayden Aren’t those ‘Wow’ moments just awesome?

Most of my breakthrough moments come when I am able to see something from a different perspective. It doesn’t happen all that often, since I tend to be pretty methodical about internal analysis, but when it does it is like magic. That “WOW” moment never ceases to amaze me!

Have you ever come across What Computer Can’t Do (by Dreyfus and Dreyfus) great stuff on learning and its chunkiness. There is a follow-up that is more philosophical (What Computers Still Can’t Do).

The breakthroughs for me tend to come in moments of quiet, intense (even obsessive) focus. Then relaxation.

@Dani Thanks Dani!

@Hilda I miss the idea of the taste of meat. I have had a few bits by mistake in the last months and the idea of the taste was definitely better than the actual taste!

@Chris I rarely get writer’s block … my problem is more of organisation. I have many half finished articles and ideas. My next breakthrough learning I hope is how to get better organised.

@Pushhyarag – I had wondered what had become of you, my friend. It’s really great to hear from you!

@Flash Isn’t it amazing? I think that applies to many things that only make sense later on. At the time it all seems very confusing but only with some time between us and it does it all fall into place.

I think it is totally amazing how, in retrospect of a ‘big step’, we can see how all of our preamble was pointing to the ‘a-ha moment’.

Hi Ian. Just to let you know ‘I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet’ as yet. Also to signal I have been able to take a peak once in a way starting August after storming relentless pressure @ new work. Nice to see a newer design and articles of passion! Hope to come back often.

Hi Ian — yes, I think it’s a mistake we often make to think we can pry or drag ideas out of ourselves in moments of, say, writer’s block — when maybe we can actually appreciate that creative emptiness giving us a break from our project for a little bit.
