What is “Reorganization”?

“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings

Key Points:

  • Reorganization is a random action that occurs when a Reference Level is violated, but you don’t know how to bring back under control. This is what happens when people feel “unhappy with their jobs”, or have the “quarter-life crisis.” There’s something wrong, but it’s hard to know what.
  • Reorganization is the neurological basis of learning. If your mind doesn’t know what to do, the best thing is to do random things to acquire data.
  • It’s best no to fight Reorganization. It usually just slows down your learning without improving your satisfaction.
  • Once you learn how to bring the perception under control, Reorganization stops naturally.
  • Embrace the mind’s request to try something new.

Questions for Consideration:

  • Do you feel like something is wrong, but you don’t know why, or how to fix it?
  • How can you embrace reorganization as a quest to learn instead of repressing the impulse?
