1. You Can Check Whether You Did The Right Things
At work, I know two modes: 1. Execution 2. Thinking When you are in execution mode, you can work for hours, days or months in a row. In fact, I know people who’ve been in execution mode for years. They never took time off to reflect or think about their work. Result? A midlife crisis. Or, young folks who experience a quarter-life crisis. That’s what you get when you put your head down and execute without thinking. You might get results. But are those results what you WANT? When you take time off work, you have more inner-conversations. But when you execute, you don’t. That’s one of the most important benefits of doing nothing. Sure, you might fall behind on work. But who cares? Would you rather go through your career with tunnel vision? I need at least ten days off to reflect seriously. For the first five days, I’m still somewhere between execution and thinking mode. It’s hard to switch to thinking and doing nothing if you’re used to doing work. But I always learn new things about myself after a more extended break. I tend to read a lot. Over the past two weeks, I’ve read five books. But I didn’t write at all. Also, I journaled very little. Just some reading, watching movies, documentaries, hanging out with friends, talking, daydreaming. That kind of stuff. Neither does it cost much. But the return is enormous. Now, I feel better, have more energy, and I’m excited to get back to work. That’s also the next lesson I learned. 2. You Get To Process Your Ideas Your brain does a lot of things you’re not aware of. One thing that happens unconsciously is the processing of ideas by our brain. We’ve all had ideas that never materialized, right? How many people have you met who claimed to have had the idea for Facebook, Instagram, or any other type of new thing? I once met a guy who claimed to have come up with the idea of making e-bikes. Did he do something with it? No. He now buys garbage on Alibaba and sells it to businesses, door- to-door. We all have ideas. Not only business ideas. • “I want to redecorate the house.” • “I want to drive from NYC to LA.” • “I want to write a book.” All those ideas are great. But what are you going to do with them? I’m not even talking about execution. All ideas require processing. Are the ideas any good? Do I really want to do those things? Again, that’s a thinking process. When you go from idea to execution, without processing, you often waste your time in hindsight. Of course, you can never entirely prevent that. But by taking the time to process your ideas, you can prevent your future self a lot of pain, worry, and even money. Download 1.67 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
