Coasting the Middle


I've come to the realization that I am coasting the middle. I am a creative person, Right Brainer with Left Brain tendencies. Last night I went to the monthly meeting of the Graphic Artists Guild-LA Chapter. As always it was very informative. The speaker talked about organizing with the Right Brain, "the creative side". Before his talk began we took a short quiz to determine if we were predominantly Right Brain thinkers or Lefties. There were some words in the Lefties word list that matched like:
Analytical
Controlling
Detail-Oriented
Focused
Goal-Oriented
Perfectionist
Planner
Reliable
Saver

But I had far more Rightie words:
Artistic
Big Picture
Chaotic
Creative
Disorganized
Distracted
Dramatic
Dreamer
Easy-going
Emotional
Fun
Impulsive
Intuitive
Messy
Non-Linear
Off-Beat
Outgoing
Passionate
Procrastinator
Visual

The fact that I listed them all was a very left brain thing to do. But I love my lists that's the way I make my life have some sort of organization. It was really comforting to hear other people's organization consists of piles, controlled chaos, repurposing of everything and scheduled naps and TV breaks. There were a lot of great tips in his speech that can also be found on his website www.creativelee.com
