Deliberately choosing to do nothing with your time is actually one of the best strategies you can take to grow your business… it’s real, imagine: nothing.
When it comes to growing a business, we have long believed in the mantra of haste. “If you do not work consistently, your business will die,” is the expression used for tired and exhausted entrepreneurs.
Leaving your business, taking a nap in the afternoon, or choosing to watch Netflix in the middle of the week may seem crazy, but deliberately choosing to do nothing with your time is actually one of the best strategies you can get if you want to grow your business… is real, imagine: nothing.
We need to understand one very important thing and that is to give our brain the space it needs to rest, so that we can better manage our activities.
It’s time to dump her and move on.
Determining the difference between good and bad distractions. First, let’s face it, there are a lot of bad distractions. If a distraction regularly takes you away from the priorities, then you should do your best to give it up.
But in addition to bad distractions, we all need some distractions in our lives. Not every distraction is a waste of time and you need to learn how to distinguish which ones to avoid and which ones not.
And before you rush to Google for “bad distractions”, let me tell you a little secret: Only you can decide if an activity is healthy for you or not. You need to stop and ask yourself the question: How do I feel after I finish this?
Learn the importance of fun
As humans, we tend to greatly complicate our relationship with time because we worry that if we are not constantly rushing toward a tangible goal, we are not doing anything useful.
Fun is essential for our brain, but we tend to underestimate it because it seems pointless. We blame ourselves for wasting time when we could have spent it being “productive”. However, what is ironic is that by giving ourselves space to enjoy time, we actually become more productive.
When entertainment is included in our day, we actually see very high growth of our creativity, concentration and performance.
Remember: We want to get rid of distractions that make us feel guilty, but we absolutely should not get rid of those distractions that are good for us. / * Tanya Dalton, Entrepreneur
