Talk to think

I attended a Leadership workshop recently where we discussed different thinking and learning styles. I always learn a lot about myself at these things.

One thing we discussed was the various ways people think and process through problems. We learned two ways which can be described as people who "talk to think" and people who "think then talk."

The "think then talkers" think their thoughts in their heads, carefully planning and preparing what they want to say before they even say it. Before they even attempt to open their mouths, they've got everything all figured out, processed, and the solution ready to deliver.
On the contrary, a "talk to thinker" opens their mouth immediately and talks and talks and talks and talks in order to sort out what she is really thinking, not entirely sure where she is going with all of it, but keeps talking anyways. Sometimes the "talk to thinker" will talk about every aspect of the problem until she is blue in the face and exhausted, but she still doesn't have it figured out.

This is me.

And I kind of need a break from using my blog as a way to vent and figure out my problems before I even have them figured out.
I think I am going to take my thinking inward for a while.

This is the better way for me right now, as I am trying to sort out all this talking.

Mahalo.
