Cheryl Johnson lives in a “how-to” world. Never satisfied with the off-the-shelf solution, she fine-tunes her tools — then teaches the “how-to” of what she’s done. This real estate broker and investor calls Los Angeles her home.<\/p>\nI can concentrate. This is my gift from the gods.<\/p>\n
The human mind is a scattered thing, flitting off at any instant in any random direction. I have the peculiar talent of being able to think about one thing exclusively — literally excluding the whole of the rest of the universe. Because of this, I can write fast, write software fast, think about things down to the last whirling atom. But the corollary is that I am exceptionally gifted at overlooking things. Cathy gets stuck with everything that I don’t want to think about.<\/p>\n
I tend to think about things completely, to the point of tedium or even outright aggravation to other people, but I never think about something until I do. My oversights are unspeckled by anything resembling foresight.<\/p>\n
All that’s by way of introduction to yet another “duh!” introduction:<\/p>\n
