In October and November, I decided to very carefully analyze my life and come up with meaningful new year’s resolutions. The entire process in coming up with them and even up to this point has yielded what I consider some real breakthroughs and realizations. The process of seriously and honestly looking inward has gotten me to a point where… Continue reading What I’ve Been Up To

First 10 Day Challenge of 2013
As mentioned in my 2013 “Resolutions” post, one of my “resolutions” (getting sick of the quotes? Yeah me too.) is to do a series of x day challenges to chip away at some habits I want to build. I had planned on some of these in advance. But I also went ahead and got Zen… Continue reading First 10 Day Challenge of 2013
Consolidation
I decided to take down my endscatterbrain.com site and consolidate the posts into this one blog. While I’m still interested in neuroplasticity and exercises and methods to improve focus and attention, I don’t think it warrants a whole separate site. I’ll continue to write on the subject and maintain a category on this site for… Continue reading Consolidation
2012 Resolutions Update 1
I haven’t abandoned my 2012 resolutions! Here is an update. Join and attend Toastmasters. Done. I’ve joined and already have given 2 impromptu “table topics” speeches. They were horrible, but that’s what I’m there to improve! Come up with and follow weekly meal plans. I need to get this going. I spent a lot of time trying… Continue reading 2012 Resolutions Update 1
2013 “Resolutions”
I can look at my 2012 resolutions in 2 ways. 1) Failure or 2) a road map that presented its share of twists and turns, which ultimately led to overall improvement (in thinking, creativity, effectiveness, focus). I’ll take #2. See what I did there? 😉 In all introspective and non-denial honesty, I learned a lot… Continue reading 2013 “Resolutions”
The Internet and Mobile are Destroying Our Brains!
Well it’s just a theory. I wrote about this here:https://www.mattsoreco.com/first-successful-30-day-challenge/ Adam Gazzaley articulates the theory here:https://www.cnn.com/2012/09/23/opinion/gazzaley-mobile-brain/index.html I definitely felt more focused during my 30 day challenge of no twitter, G+, etc. I have limited their use since. I need to be more mindful of other “clutter” that I default to when there is a split second of boredom. I truly believe in… Continue reading The Internet and Mobile are Destroying Our Brains!
My First Public Speech
I still haven’t abandoned my new year’s resolutions. But they did take a little turn, which I’ll get into in another post. One resolution was to join, attend, and participate in Toastmasters. Toastmasters is a national organization with local clubs that meet regularly to provide a place for people to improve their public speaking in a supportive… Continue reading My First Public Speech
Video Explaining Neuroplasticity
This video explains neuroplasticity, which I mentioned in my last post. “The mind changes the brain, the brain changes the mind.”
First Successful 30 Day Challenge
My first successful 30 day challenge is almost through. I deem it a success. This one was simple enough. Stay away from time wasters. My main two were Twitter and Google Plus. There were also some message boards that I avoided too. I confirmed the suspicion that I get nothing valuable from them. All they… Continue reading First Successful 30 Day Challenge
30 Day Challenge Update – Time Wasters
I’m a week into giving up Twitter, Google+, and some other social media and message boards. So far so good. So far, I confirmed my suspicion that none of the above were providing me with anything valuable. I get my information from other sources (e.g. blogs through Google Reader), which are probably more reliable anyway.… Continue reading 30 Day Challenge Update – Time Wasters
