Charles Limbs, a MIT researcher, does MRI scans of the brain./nHe studied jazz musicians and hiphop artists./nHe found that as jazz musicians who were entering true improvisational jazz, where they left the kind of... He would do things where he would have them do learned pieces and then depart, etc. there was a precipitous decline in blood flow in the area of the brain responsible for judgment./nThey basically turned off the selfcenter./nThis is a question. Where's the space or time where teams are encouraged to turn off judgment?/nIt's a very simple thing, right?/nAnd by the way, just if I'm a runner, if somebody says they're a runner, you don't think, well, you run 12 hours a day. How do you have time for anything else?/nI'd go on a run like 20 minutes a day, and I'm a runner./nWhat Limbs is advocating is that there are 10 minutes a day where teams should try to enter a FMRI scan where the blood flow just stops to that region./nYou carve out these times, you know, we talk about in the book about having individually what we call a daily idea quota, where the basic principle there is simply, instead of looking for the idea, you look for things./nWhat should the subject line of this email be? How do I open this presentation? How do.
