Is there any advantage to having a lot of projects going on at once? And the reason I'm asking that is because I've seen folks who will kind of switch it up if they feel stuck in one area, then they'll switch. Or is that just too much going on? No, I think it's very valuable. One front is it's good to have lots of things going on because, you know, projects sometimes hit a wall and there's no way around that particular wall. But yes, it's incredibly valuable to have a number of different tasks going on to fronts.
At some point, we all get stuck. Maybe it’s in a job or career. Maybe it’s a relationship or business venture.
Though it’s something we all experience, when it happens, we can feel alone and out of our depth. Emotions may overwhelm us. Mental traps lure is in. In no time at all, we can’t see a way out.
Award-winning professor, researcher, and author, Adam Alter, has spent decades studying how successful people get unstuck. In his latest book, Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to Get Unstuck When It Matters Most, he shares what we can do to move forward. Adam’s recommendations can help us with what might be the most important times in our lives.
