Bursts
I enjoy studying my own ineptitude when it comes to staying on task. I have come to the realization that my best work happens in one to two hour bursts of creativity and energy. It usually happens after I have cleared my head of unnecessary fodder. It can happen in the morning, afternoon, or at 11:30 at night, but when it does it’s a lot of fun.
I once read that Richard Branson is like everyone else except for the five to ten minutes a day when he isn’t. And in those five to ten minute creative bursts, he changes the world. I have not changed the world ( yet ), and I am not comparing myself to Richard Branson, but I think there is a lot of truth to the idea. Most of life is blocking and tackling. It’s what you get done when it isn’t that will probably make the difference.
Do you work the same way? If not, I would love to hear your story.
