Since I found myself in a slump for the past two weeks, I pulled up a book I had downloaded on my iPad two years ago. I listened to the audiobook about ten years ago and four years ago I read the book. Completing the exercises in the workbook is a totally different experience.
Doing the work is a much more fulfilling activity than simply reading about doing the work. This is the reason why we should equip ourselves with as much arsenal as possible in the war against stagnation. For me, it is a fight, but one worth getting into because this is my life. I'm not going down without a fight. I'm not going down, period.
It is possible to go overboard with the self-help books, tapes, workshops, lectures, etc. So, if more information is being taken in than is being processed, then I would say it is time to slow down. Take a minute to practice and apply tools before picking new ones up.
