Do you ever feel that when you step away from the daily routines, you can see your life with an elevated perception? If you’re struggling with finding your purpose in life, you’re facing a fork in the road, or don’t know what to focus on to make an impact, a think week could be the solution!
A timeout is not a lethargic vacation, but a time to “think” and work on meaningful goals, without distractions.
Bill Gates calls it “Think Week”. Twice a year, he would leave on one-week long seclusion without family and friends, and come back with big innovative ideas.
Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates all have one thing in common, they know the importance of creating intentional escapes alone several times a year, away from their business.
Tim Ferris praises the benefits of “Mini-Retirements”, and he would use them as an opportunity to become a local in a new country or to become an expert in a new discipline.
Carl Jung wrote his masterpieces in Bollingen Tower, his retreat home where he would ponder and write for months at a time. J.K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter, would check into a hotel room so she could write with no distractions.
If you’ve been pushing back a deep question, I urge you to take the leap and book time for a “Think Week”. Once you are alone and there’s only you to focus on, you can’t escape and look away! You can dive deep into your soul, redefine your purpose, and realign your actions.
“Your greatest success and prosperity in business and life will come from your ability to create your own breakthroughs.”
