Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

Making time to think is something we all “know” is an important part of problem solving. But that does it actually look like to “think?”
You might be trying to remember something and the more you actively try to think about it the less likely it seems you will remember it.
In those cases, I tell my brain, “I know you know this. Go find it.” And usually, it will suddenly pop into my head, “Hey look I found it!”
I know that sounds crazy but it really works. I’ve even been able to help clients do it.
But I wondered how other people think about thinking so I asked Brandon Mahoney, Jim Tam and Bill Dolan how they think.
Bill had a great saying, “Life is a drive by experience.” And I’m going to have to spend some time thinking about what that means.
We also ended up talking about how we remember things, particularly things we read. The best option seems to be to take notes but when that’s not an option, being purposeful about listening and focusing on what’s being said is a good idea. (For transparency, I’m awful at that. I’m ALWAYS doing something else when I’m listening to books.)
What does it look like for you to think about something on purpose? Do you have a trick for getting your brain to remember something? I’d love to hear it.
