Overcoming Friction

March 14, 2012 By EMI

Friction is the natural worlds way of holding back movement of an object or wearing that object down.   Whether it’s the viscous effects of oil in an engine or the drag over an aircraft’s wing, this natural force exists all around us to keep things from working effortlessly.   Sometimes it’s a force for good, for example when you apply the brakes in your car and the tires keep you from rear-ending the car in front of you.  But most often it simply wreaks havoc.

So to does friction create havoc in the mind.  I like to call it “friction of mind”, because it gives it a name.   For me it shows up often times just when the work towards a goal is at its hardest point or when I’m faced with a multitude of tasks.  My mind-friction begins dragging me towards less important tasks or rationalizing reasons why the work isn’t really worth doing.  It simply wreaks havoc.

Designing A Way Around Friction

Engineers spend a lot of time designing means to reduce, or even overcome, the effects of friction.   Thanks to this work, we get 10,000 miles between oil changes and the ability to fly non-stop between Denver and Munich.  Designing a way to reduce, or overcome, friction in the mind requires just as much R&D and effort.
