Absolutely true! I think I have always been a "micro thinker," or-- to use an NLP term-- I tend to "chunk small." I do OK with big picture thinking and decision making, but I am really more interested in the small individual pieces, and how they make up the whole.
Hmm, I'll have to re-read some of the NLP stuff. I like how they lay out the use of language. I usually catch distortions and deletions pretty easily during convos and thoughtlines, but I'll have to re-examine chunking. Cheers!
