I have this weird thought that being bored is an intellectual challenge. That filling that void with knowledge to be learned is not actually growth, but is just reliance on a comforting strategy learned in childhood.

Despite having Living with Intensity on my to-read shelf, I'm not in the target audience for that symposium. Wrong chromosomes.

None taken. I was just being a little silly. (There apparently needs to be a winky-sad face to express false indignation.)

An interesting Venn diagram is how much the creativity culture, productivity culture, and gifted culture overlap. I first heard about Cal Newport's Deep Work in a workshop for people trying to build habits to complete creative projects.

It's not really about giftedness, but Jessica Abel's blog often speaks to those same sort of feelings. She taught me a lot. Mostly that I don't have 25-40 hours of free time a week that I could be using to work on projects. I only have about 2 per week. And with the DD2 now, maybe the important thing to me is to sit together and watch Tinkerbell.
