Quiet contemplation may not be a pursuit that you naturally pair with productivity.
But in reality, quiet contemplation helps you be more efficient and effective.
Why?
Well, we live in an age of instant access and constant connection.
As wonderful as that is, do you sometimes feel inundated with information, tasks, choices, and opportunities?
Quiet contemplation…
We’re so busy so much of the time that it’s easy to feel depleted. And that’s why I recommend that you choose some specific time every day that is designated just for you.
And what I find to work best is this recipe: One hour of quiet contemplation followed by one hour of productive writing.
- Self-care is the root of successful time management. It replenishes your energy and sharpens your focus.
- Quiet and contemplation will get your creative ideas flowing like water from its well-spring.
Getting started…
You may find that working with shorter increments of time helps, especially at the beginning. But the general idea is that you nourish yourself in the quiet and then engage fully with the tasks before you.
Try looking at your time in 15-minute increments. You’ll be amazed at how this can change things for you.
So, how will you make time for quiet contemplation in your life starting today? What will be your first step?
