Name the 7 features of the doing mode
1. it often comes on line automatically
2. it uses thoughts and ideas, holding them in mind as you work.
3. it dwells in the past and future to help get where you want to be
4. it keeps in mind what to avoid-where you don't want to end up
5. it needs things to be different, forever focusing on the gap between where you are and where you want to be
6. it takes thoughts/ideas as real (it would not be useful to keep doubting you destination)
7. left to itself. it continues to focus on the goal until the task is complete, or until you are too tired and depleted to continue. the demands of the doing mode can be quite harsh and unkind.
