Today we're talking about one of my favorite subjects to talk about and that is how the brain works.

Talking about micro versus macro thinking,

the two different types of critical thinking

and how that impacts so many different areas of your life.

So welcome back to the Cutterbug Podcast.

Today we're talking about one of my favorite topics.

I just love, I find the brain so fascinating.

I'm going to be honest with you, it's truth timed here.

I have no idea how the brain works.

I have no scientific background whatsoever, but I find the brain

fascinating and I certainly find the fact that there are two types of critical thinkers

fascinating. They're a thinkers and there are macro thinkers. Or at least that's my theory and I'm going to just dig deep into why I believe this and really ask you to think about what type

of critical thinker you are. Are you a micro or a macro thinker?

And the idea behind this really came from my journey of organization.

My journey from going to, from a really, really messy person

to a clean and organized person.

And that, the catalyst of that was discovering

that I don't organize in a traditional way.

Traditional organization is really detailed, it's really meticulous, it's really

micro in thought, it's taking a lot of your stuff a big pile and making lots of

smaller categories, it's about planning, it's about just micro critical

thinking and I struggle with that. I'm a macro thinker. I'm a big picture thinker and therefore I'm a big picture organizer.
