8 Ways to Get UNSTUCK

5. Keep it simple, stupid.

Kiss. Figuratively, not literally!

Start a new to-do list with no more than five things on it. Get those done. Then move on to the next five things to do. Don’t overwhelm yourself with a to-do list that is unachievable and not reachable. Focus on simplicity and clarity.

6. Hang around kids.

Whether your own kids or someone else’s. Children have a way of providing inspiration because of their imagination, childlike faith and sense of amazement at everything.

7. Exercise.

Take a run, go swimming, work out, climb a mountain, jump on a bike, water ski, play basketball or whatever activity fits you.

8. Lean into your passions.

Might be that you deeply love music. Listen to your favorite songs. Might be that you love sitting on the beach. Could be hanging at your favorite cabin in the mountains. Or maybe you like to work on cars or tinker with inventions.

Whatever your passions are, lean back into them.

Brad Lomenick is Executive Director and key Visionary of Catalyst, a movement of young leaders. Over the last 15 years, he has built a reputation as a key networker and convener of leaders. Prior to running Catalyst, Brad was involved in the growth of the nationally acclaimed Life@Work Magazine and did management consulting with Cornerstone Group. More recently he has served in a number of roles for INJOY and now GiANT Impact. For several years after college, he rode horses for a living on a ranch in Colorado, and was even struck by lightning while installing a barbed wire fence, which some believe has given him powers equal to several of the Super Heroes. He hopes maybe someday he can be a professional golfer, or have his own hunting show.
