Ruby, I have the same problem as you – with my ideas, it’s “Feast or famine” – I either have a million ideas popping and percolating around my head – and this results in confusion followed by numbness. I get overwhelmed! Or I’m trying and trying to think of an idea – and my mental “well runs dry”.

Mr. Hipp – Excellent and inspiring article! I’m going to print it out and answer the questions in my journal.

It is what I am facing these days. Thanks alot! Besides, I would like to ask for your advice on - how should I be cleared when doing something? as in when making decision on working matters. Above are more alike our dreams and goals that we want to achieve. On top of that, I do know what I want to be as a designer in my future - a fusionate of graphic and fashion. I'm passionate about it though. It got my vision even better when I read a few methods that you just gave. Now, talking about the working problem that I'm dealing with is that I always have a lot of thoughts in my mind when I'm doing my work. In the end, it's just a confusion. It's like I have too many ideas at one time until I am doubted of myself in deciding. For e.g, my friend asked me to design a name card. I have a brilliant idea for him at 1st. After that, more and more ideas just Pops out my head and I keep telling him hey, I have this, i have that idea...so and so.. He's like confused. So, I find myself always unsure of what I want to do at times. It always happened when I do my work. Lots and lots of idea just comes and popping around my head. In the end, Im stucked. hahaha!! Urgh!!! I'm really tired of this same long time mistakes that I've been making. I always like to go to the library as there are so many interesting books and magazine I'd love to look into. I grabbed them all and put on my table. I just flipped them through, looking into interesting pictures of awesome designs and NEVER a time tries to READ. Also, as I was too greedy grabbing so many of the books, I ended up didn't finish them all. Sigh~~~ I hoped you really can help me with this, Mason. I can't let this happened to me anymore. It's very stress and struggling. I’m so glad that I read this tweet by someone in my tweeter post. It is what I am facing these days. Thanks alot!

By looking back you are able to understand what you did right (and wrong!) which will ultimately help you push forward and become better and better in the future. By learning from your mistakes you can truly unlock your true potential. Igor, great comment and yes, from what I can find, it was Brian Tracy.

I definitely agree, looking back at your results after even a few months (especially 5 years) is really fascinating. Plus, looking back regularly can help to make more accurate goals in the future. Thanks for the comment! Hey Chris,

Glad you like it! I definitely agree, looking back at your results after even a few months (especially 5 years) is really fascinating.

Plus, looking back regularly can help to make more accurate goals in the future.

Thanks for the comment!

I love how you elaborate on this concept. That ought to be pretty interesting to look back on what I have done in 5 years. It's almost worth getting that far just for that. That is a great post.
