A favorite time in my life was when I holed away in my apartment, not visiting friends, going out into the world or otherwise distracting myself from the goal of writing my master’s thesis proposal. I had more than 100 photocopied research articles in stacks on the floor each color-coded according to different themes with some articles having three or more colors on them. I was so energized by all the ideas and how they were coming together. Reading through the literature, seeing connections and missed connections, determining valid and weak arguments, finding the gaps, and searching for the missing puzzle piece – that would become the goal of my own research study.  I was invigorated and energized by the reading, thinking, deconstructing, writing, reconstructing, reflecting, creating, reading some more, connecting the dots. Woohoo!!!!!!!!! This was fun.  Introverts are energized by ideas.
