A Basic Skill For Staying Within Boundaries And For Making Creativity Work

By Jan B. Roosa, Ph.D.

Jack had always had trouble completing projects. As he learned and applied the Sequencing skills, he stayed on task much better, and he gained more respect at work and home.

Sequencing---to think, do, or arrange things in a logical order or step by step fashion, like 1,2,3, or to array what is in disarray---is one of the best favors your brain can do for itself. Sequencing, put together with the other skills like Decision-making and Prioritizing, gives the brain an efficient use of its energy, thereby making it all the more effective and joyous.

I call Sequencing the "sleeper skill" because it has gone unnoticed as a cornerstone of personal relationships, daily living, as well as work and learning.

Children, and particularly teenagers, suffer from deficiencies in Sequencing skills. This can be very damaging. If they grow up without learning Sequencing, and making it a habit, their disorderly approach to matters will not straighten out by itself anymore than teeth will straighten themselves without braces.
