Summary

Dedicated thinking time can be some of the most important minutes in a career author’s day. Without the ability to create space for big ideas to grow and take shape, we’re left with an unending to-do list, chasing completion of an endless set of meaningless tasks. While it’s important to meet deadlines and attend to the details of your business as a career author, it’s also critical to take time to think. Thinking in this way can be done in many different ways and at various times throughout your week. Dedicated thinking time is not “one size fits all.” The Career Author Podcast is a podcast where co-authors J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon share their struggles and successes as full-time authors, advice for improving your writing craft, and honest discussions of what it takes to build a successful career as an author. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why dedicated thinking time is important. How leaving the screen at home is critical. What successful people do for dedicated thinking time, like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. When you can fit in dedicated thinking time. How walking, driving, and journaling can be worked into your dedicated thinking time. What you should consider thinking about. How often you should big think. How long you should spend big thinking. Also, discover why Zach has returned to journaling. Send us your ways and hacks – https://thecareerauthor.com/waysandhacks/ Leave us a comment: Do you set aside time for deep thought? Why or why not?
