Josette shared her thoughts about how bour thinking is shifting...
In the past, linear thinking worked. Do A ā B ā C = result.
But in the AI era, we keep applying linear thinking to nonlinear tools and itās exhausting.
Instead, iteration is key: try something ā learn ā adjust ā repeat.
⨠YES. This is one of the most important and least talked about mindset shifts happening right now.
So many people are still trying to run old operating systems (linear logic, rigid planning, fixed outcomes) in a world that has become exponentially multiādimensional. And that mismatch? Thatās where the fatigue comes from. Hereās how I see it.
š Weāve entered the era of lateral thinking and agile building.
Not āfollow the steps. Not perfect the plan. But build, test, feel, adjust.
Neurodiverse thinkers often click with AI very quickly because they already think in patterns, connections, jumps, and associations rather than straight lines. Entrepreneurs, builders, creatives ā theyāve been living this way for years.
Meanwhile, many of us were schooled to think literally:
⢠Do the course
⢠Follow the framework
⢠Execute the plan
⢠Hit the outcome
But AI doesnāt work like that! and Life doesnāt work like that anymore either.
š§ AI is a mirror for our consciousness and it's blowing open how we think, process, and create.
It invites:
⢠play over perfection
⢠experimentation over certainty
⢠fast feedback loops over fixed plans
It challenges the part of us that wants to have it all figured out before we begin.
And that can feel deeply uncomfortable especially for women whoāve been taught to be prepared, correct, capable and perfect before taking action.
š Hereās the truth though:
There is no blueprint anymore...
There is no guaranteed formulas
There is no linear path to follow.
Everything weāre building right now is unprecedented.
We are literally building the plane as we fall out of the sky.
So when exhaustion shows up, itās not because youāre ābad at techā or ābehind.ā
Itās because youāre trying to squeeze something emergent, alive, and adaptive into a box that no longer fits.
š ļø The antidote isnāt more hustle or learning. It's a different relationship with how we build.
⢠Iteration instead of perfection
⢠Adaptability instead of rigid plans
⢠Presence instead of performance
⢠Feedback as navigation not judgment
⢠Coācreation with the tools and with each other
This is the work weāre doing here; not just learning tools but learning how to think, lead, and create in this new terrain.
If youāve felt tired, disoriented, or like your old ways of working donāt quite fit anymore youāre not broken and you donāt have to do it alone.
š Iād love to hear:
Whatās been shifting in how you think or work lately?
Where are you noticing this move from linear ā lateral in your own life or business?
