Create white space – then innovate

Some busy people are fully scheduled. Every time slot of full. Another appointment, another meeting, another call.
They rush around all day, trying to find time to eat and go to the bathroom.
When unscheduled things come up, they try to cram them into tiny slots in between, often throwing their schedule off.
This person has no time to think and create anything new.
A leader who has defined their own job properly has plenty of open time in their calendar and daily schedule. In fact, they schedule open time.
In this space they can think, create, write, and innovate.
These people are more satisfied, less frustrated, and think more clearly. They are happier.
Do you engineer time with nothing scheduled?
I just revamped my “winning schedule” recently to add more HVA and white space.
This goes with the Einstein quote…
How does one create new thinking – and new ways to think – with no time to think at all?
I LOVE this! Great reminder to not fill every moment with “something”……Become more productive.
