Week 14EC: Learning by HEART: Attention

Daydreaming This article talks about how daydreaming can be a good thing. Based off a recent study, daydreaming suggests that you might be really smart and creative. They suggest that people with efficient brains naturally wander to think of new things. As long as you can go in and out of situations while still hitting the main points then daydreaming can be a great thing, they suggest. I already knew that daydreaming can mean that you are creative, but I'm interested in learning more about why our brains daydream. Based on this article, it is possible that they daydream because they are efficient brains and need to wander in order to think properly. (daydream: Science Daily)

Week 14EC: Growth Mindset: How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut

How to Spark Creativity When You're in a Rut The author suggests that when you are in a mindset of conformity or just "going through the motions," it becomes easy to not be creative. Instead, you should think new, capitalize on obstacles, look for intersections, and share what you know. The thinking new part seems self-evident and is something I already knew. I would like to learn more about looking for intersections because it is something I'm interested in and had no prior knowledge about it. (Creative: Pixabay )

Week 14: Story Laboratory: Writers Write

Is Game of Thrones Worth Your Time? This article is interesting because it discusses the appropriate length of what a story should be. It seems totally subjective to what the length of a story should be and the author complains that the TV show is worth watching more than reading the book. I am a big fan of both the books and movie. I think both serve their own purpose, but to simply say that the books shouldn't be read because they are too redundant or long seems silly. To subject books to be smaller based off of a fast-paced society gets away from the purpose of reading and what it truly means. At the end of the day, as long as the author can tell a good story and convey their message and have fans that are willing to read it, then it serves its purpose. You're meant to get caught up in reading. Don't expect it to go along with your fast-paced life. Make time for reading. (Books: Wikipedia )
