As I sometimes do my “homework” regarding finding the best… and most timely TRIPLE III TIME topic, shared below is a unique quote taken from a presentation by Julie Burnstein entitled:  “4 Lessons in Creativity” (2012)… that really helped this week! 

“Artists (often) speak about how pushing the limits of what they can do, sometimes pushing into what they can’t do, helps them focus on finding their own voice.”

So here’s the TRIPLE III TIME question:  What are YOUR thoughts regarding creating a “Can’t Do” list for yourself??  I believe if you are truly correctly driven… Creating A Motivational “Can’t Do” List may be a fun, non-traditional method of extending your own entrepreneurial spirit. 

Think about it?! 

First, having a VISUAL of what you feel a need to try, work on and accomplish…would be a very appropriate beginning of utilizing a “Can’t Do” List.  Somehow seeing the “Can’t Do” List in writing may show that the challenge is not as big as you believed and/or possibly convince you that you may be over-thinking specifically what can’t be done! 

Next, possibly sharing parts of your “Can’t Do” List with others may result in a unique new working arrangement or mentoring situation that offers everyone a creative progressive opportunity.  Many times just as attendees in a training situation are hesitant to ask questions that everyone may be concerned about… so too could others also be facing a similar “Can’t Do” situation and resist even talking about it. 

Bottomline:  Creating A Motivational “Can’t Do” List could serve as a GREAT problem-solving activity both personally and professionally.  However, I also realize that some may look at a “Can’t Do” List as self-defeating.  Historically it has been my approach to instantly think:  “Bring-it-on!…or I know how to get around this problem…or this isn’t as big or confusing as I thought”! 

Therefore I “vote” that MOTIVATIONAL is the better position to take!
