Man on the Move
 | Feed your MindDudes, let's talk about the most underrated muscle you've got: your imagination. Darwin knew what was up when he said flourishing minds never lose their appetite for wonder. Here's the move: take 15 minutes each day to deliberately daydream. Not the zoning-out-during-meetings kind, but intentional creative thinking. |
Maybe it's sketching out that business idea you've been sitting on, writing down three "what if" scenarios about your career, or just observing something ordinary—like your coffee maker—and imagining how it could work better.
Why bother? Because like Darwin figured out, imagination isn't just some random gift—it's a skill you can develop. Think of it like mental weightlifting. The more you flex that creative muscle, the stronger it gets. While others are clocking in to shuffle emails, you're training your brain to see possibilities they can't.
Start small. Set a timer, grab a notebook (no screens), and let your mind wander with purpose. By the time you're done, you'll feel like you've upgraded your mental operating system.
