With all the things we have on our to-do list, maybe the most important one is this: how are you spending your time to facilitate growth? Most of the people who read my Monday Thoughts are adults with a keen interest in creative growth for their kids and themselves, but here’s the question. How are you prioritizing this with your time?

I think about growth across three different spectrums: functional, emotional and creative and over the last 20 years I’ve committed my life through One River School and the School of Rock to helping people dynamically with their creative growth. The truth is, we still don’t spend enough time in this space …. kids to adults and through seniors.

So, as you migrate through all the challenges in life and think about your constantly evolving task list: here’s an assignment. Clarify the time you and your family spend individually on expanding your mind through creative development. There are numerous studies that show it enhances every aspect of brain development, which happens to improve functional and emotional growth as well!

It’s all about growth so get your growth game on!
