A close friend shared that she has decided to go back to graduate school and was awarded a scholarship to Tulane School of Social Work, a decision driven by the foresight that her job as a graphic designer was being replaced by the rapid advances in AI."

For many of us, Labor Day marks the start of a new year and season. New school years begin, fall activities kick off, and social calendars fill up. Before we know it, we're either overextending ourselves or doing nothing at all.

To navigate this transition successfully, I've developed a framework based on three key questions.

Last week, while visiting the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), I was immediately captivated by the exhibit "John Scott: Blues Poem for the Urban Landscape" in the Great Hall. Scott's monumental woodcut prints, which capture the very soul of New Orleans, confronted me in a stimulating and thought-provoking way. As I studied his work, I couldn't help but notice how his creative process embodied the concept of "spherical thinking," a non-linear approach to simultaneously looking at the past, present, and future. This idea resonated with me as a Turbo Thinker, and I began to see parallels between Scott's artistic mindset and the way our minds work.

To create each print, Scott carved into the surface of large sheets of plywood with a power saw and routing tools, creating lines and forms that are impressionistic yet visually imposing. The composite nature of these prints exemplifies Scott's jazz-inspired explorations of spherical thinking. Like a jazz musician, Scott improvised, riffed, and layered elements to create a cohesive whole that tells a story — in this case, the story of New Orleans.

At Mind Coach, I often encounter high-achieving professional clients who feel they are always catching up. They own up to the fact that they can’t get ahead with anything new because they don’t have the time and space to develop strategies and see the big picture. They are constantly falling behind, trying to catch up. Even though they cannot take on more, they seem to always say yes, forcing themselves to work late into the night or on weekends. Yet they don’t let anyone know, because they feel they should be able to do things faster and better than anyone else, able to do it all alone without complaints.

This is due to a form of time blindness. We Turbo Thinkers© really struggle with time estimation, so much so that our magical thinking extends to the point of making us delusional.
