Two other social media platforms I'm playing with right now are Vark.com, which I've found useful for getting questions answered in a way that hasn't quite worked yet for me with Twitter; and the newly launched RocketHub.com, which is a social media platform for crowdsourcing the funding of small creative projects.

When I'm fried creatively, I go exercise or run errands. I find I'm at my most creative from 7 – 11:30 am. After that I'm not creative and have to work on grunt work.

One flaw I railed at for years was the lack of creative, spontaneous unfettered time. Now I schedule time to find connections, be creative, listen and daydream during each day, even if it is only for 15 minutes.

I never believed it would be easy, but like Seth Godin says.You have to put in the time, stay creative and keep looking for that break. Find a business analogy that takes the feeling of failure out of it if that's a problem (here's one: a therapist is like a mentor for your marriage). It's either that or death.

Because for some reason, a feasible solution is usually included with the "why," a bit like getting that second ShamWow for free. I think what "people" want is solutions. We are solution-seekers. Not only was it not OTT, it was mature, kind & mentor-y. It's not magical, but it sort of is.

' Readers that follow you for ages may understand that it was passing or fluid, but an employer or distant mentor could look at that and completely misjudge your stance or capabilities. And I love your solution in your #4 point. So I wonder, does anyone have other solutions? It could be for men and women too.

" Speaking from experience, it was the realization that ending this particular mind-state/personality view at this particular time and place was not going to be any kind of lasting solution to fixing the ultimate reality that needed fixing. Fun either way. Either that or I'm just too happy about life. I do believe in redemption.

I wonder, is there really one blanket solution for women in this situation? Is a woman who is itching to get her career going really ready for kids instead? I dont think the two are interchangeable, like they're different hormones.
