The science of intentional 'eureka' moments
Time apart is just as important as time together.
Read that over twice.
It sounds counter-intuitive - but there is a universal truth to this, and I relate this to how we think, work, and perform.
There’s no question that running a business is a 24/7 gig - even if we’re not ‘on the tools’ delivering client work, we’re thinking about it all the time.
It’s hard to focus beyond the next step (or the closest fire), but I have a tactic that can pull away the white noise.
We have to disconnect so we can reconnect, and it’s a strategy that a mentor gifted me that completely flipped my world on its head.
I’ll explain…
The technique taps into the science of our ‘eureka’ moments and how many of our best ideas come in the shower, in the bathroom, watching the waves, sleeping or having a quiet coffee to ourselves.
It’s in these moments that we allow our brain to connect the pieces in the work we have ALREADY done and help develop the answer for us to move forward.
To breakthrough our blockages...
It proves we can create a system for how we can create big ideas in a predictable fashion.
(think of it as our own version of the Limitless pill)
The secret lies in a series of intentional brain dumping, road mapping, and organising thoughts before intentionally disconnecting from the content and putting ourselves in situations to get out of our heads.
Once we have done this, there is another step in reorganising again and connecting
It allowed me to completely change my business model in a matter of months, and see the positive results of this almost immediately.
It’s allowed me to develop my first book that is due to be published at the end of the year.
Most importantly, it’s given me the system to compartmentalise my thinking and problem solving whenever there is a big challenge; be it, personal, business, or otherwise.
The few hours allocated to this every few months can provide you hundreds, if not thousands of hours back that would have been misdirected before these realisations.
The clarity and focus it provides is unparalleled.
I’m going to be recording a video about this technique in the coming week, reach out if you want access, I’ll only be sending it out privately.
