My friend is not a poet. He\u2019d actually never written a poem in his life. He was a nervous about attending the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what the instructor asked him to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She asked my friend to make a list. The first list he had to come up with were \u201cobjects you find beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then she asked him to come up with lists of other things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3\u20135 people you\u2019re close to<\/li><li>Words that remind you of those 3\u20135 people<\/li><li>Words you use a lot<\/li><li>Words you like the sound of<\/li><li>Places that feel like home<\/li><li>Things other people want of you or expect of you<\/li><li>Songs from your early childhood<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What he ended up writing in those lists were his \u201cpoetry ingredients.\u201d She then gave him a poem someone else had written with a blank space every other stanza. This was the \u201crecipe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He plugged his ingredients into the recipe\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And ta da! My friend had a poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It got me thinking how many things in my own life are this way. It all starts with a list of ingredients. Building, making, doing something new really isn\u2019t much more complicated than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take painting, for example. When I try to decide what to paint, I make a list of emotions: What have I been feeling strongly lately? I make lists of colors, shades, forms, places and people that inspire me. From these ingredients, the recipe begins to percolate in my head. And I begin painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For writing, before I attempt to hammer out any sentences, I make a list of things that feel stirring to me: What has my brain been hooked by lately? I write down recent situations I\u2019ve encountered, enjoyable conversations I\u2019ve had, things people have said that I\u2019ve disagreed with, words or phrases that have puzzled me, concepts I\u2019ve read in books that have intrigued me. From that list of ingredients, I begin to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Progress starts with a list. Progress starts with ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wonder\u200a\u2014\u200aif we slow our minds down for a second\u200a\u2014\u200ahow many things we find hard to start, make, and do that would become more straightforward and less stressful if we remembered this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re on a project at work. You\u2019re stuck. You don\u2019t feel inspired. You don\u2019t feel creative. But you remember that creation starts with ingredients. So you start listing out the ways the project could be better, things you\u2019ve seen recently that have caught your attention, people you should go talk to to get new ideas. The list of ingredients snowballs, until you\u2019ve caught fresh momentum to start plugging them into your recipe. You\u2019re unstuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re a new manager on your team. You\u2019re frustrated. Folks seem disengaged, blas\u00e9 about the work they\u2019re doing. But you recall that progress starts with a list of ingredients. So you start listing out what potential blockers people might have, reasons why people should be excited about the project, what ways you might be getting in the way with your own actions. Your list of ingredients stares you in the face: It\u2019s clear what you need to act on. You\u2019re no longer frustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a simple list of ingredients, you can make progress. You can become a better leader. You can create. You can write. You can paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not a poet, you can write a poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"newsletter-post-form-container\">\n  <h3>Never miss a post \u2013&nbsp;get our latest leadership insights, as they&#8217;re released&#8230;<\/h3>\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.canopy.is\/embed\" width=\"850\" height=\"150\" style=\"border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<br\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"crp-list-title\">You might also enjoy reading&#8230;<\/h3><ul class=\"crp-list\"><li class=\"crp-list-item crp-list-item-image-above crp-list-item-has-image\"><div class=\"crp-list-item-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canopy.is\/blog\/2017\/12\/01\/dont-let-worry-become-a-leadership-weakness\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" style=\"max-width: 50px; height: auto;\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/canopy.is\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/abb4b-1_i2f7hshhsynllqfxogpxg-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-50x50 size-50x50 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"crp-list-item-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canopy.is\/blog\/2017\/12\/01\/dont-let-worry-become-a-leadership-weakness\/\">Don\u2019t let worry become a leadership weakness<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"crp-list-item crp-list-item-image-above crp-list-item-has-image\"><div class=\"crp-list-item-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canopy.is\/blog\/2018\/11\/17\/feeling-off-how-to-be-a-good-manager-when-you-just-dont-feel-like-being-one\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" style=\"max-width: 50px; height: auto;\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/canopy.is\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/fc625-1pvszmnwvddu369k339uk8g-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-50x50 size-50x50 wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"crp-list-item-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/canopy.is\/blog\/2018\/11\/17\/feeling-off-how-to-be-a-good-manager-when-you-just-dont-feel-like-being-one\/\">Feeling \u201coff\u201d?
