PIV - Comfort zone

I'm a tiny bit of a puzzle addict. Not really though. I impulsively want to finish the puzzle and when I find a piece that looks like it goes somewhere, I really want to put it there, even if I should leave the classroom. I have the visual ability to associate such tiny pieces of a puzzle with a small amount of color to another piece of a puzzle. I've noticed that my other group members have somewhat dwindled from the puzzle solving. Allison and I are who that remain for the majority of the time. Though I still feel like I do a lot of the puzzling. I don't feel it's a leader role, in the strict sense, as I'm not telling anyone to do anything, but I still feel that I'm perhaps providing some small motivation because I FEEL motivated. Spread the feeling?

Focusing on color groups and specific patterns help the puzzle going quite quickly. I feel that I have a small methodology when it comes to the puzzles, and it's a pattern that I've established and it continues to work - therefore I keep on using it. Though initially separating the puzzles into color groups for this puzzle didn't help as much as I hoped, I used the same method and applied it to detailed patterns - which helped MUCH more. So, same method, just applied in a slightly different way. Perhaps this tells me I like the comfort of rituals I have established that work for me, but when I feel they don't work as well as I hope I will SLIGHTLY adapt my methods. That way I remain comfortable but I am trying something new.
