Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jack7" data-source="post: 5646100" data-attributes="member: 54707">I've been receiving a lot of business coaching lately.  One of the suggestions I've received is "work your butt off and without allowing  any interruption for 4 days a week and 1 day a week spend away from the office  and instead go out. Wander around, look at things, visit other businesses, and  spend some time in solitude just thinking. Use that 1 day to think, generate new  ideas, and make notes."  This strikes me as a superb idea. So starting next week I  implement it. (I had other commitments this weekend.) I'll work by butt  off 4 days a week without interruption. One day a week will be devoted to  wandering, observation, idea generation, and solitude. This should be an especially  productive schedule for generating new business ideas, for benefiting my  (fiction) writing career, and to improving the conditions favorable for my  inventing.   Oh, and on the one day devoted to Wandering, Observation,  and Idea Generation there will be no computers, internet, television, cell  phones (God knows I hate those already anyways) or other such  distractions.Just wandering, pen and paper, sketchbooks maybe, thinking, and  some solitude. I'll listen to music some too, and read, but nothing  "work-related" or that is noisy or frivolous.The point is to overcome  all distractions, avoid projects already underway, and instead develop new  ideas.   Another very interesting idea that was presented to me  was this: turn my Business and my Career into Games. That this would not only  make my Company and my Career more fun, but more productive, creative and  flexible. I'm already working on ideas on how to implement this concept, but it  seems another excellent  suggestion.     </blockquote>
