Why Top Entrepreneurs Are Ditching Productivity for This Strange Practice

Here's What You Really Need to Carve Out More Space For In Your Calendar.

Do what you need to do fast. Then daydream.

Unfinished tasks steal your mental energy.

They're like mosquitoes buzzing around your head. Get them done.

Now you're free. Your mind is clear. This is where the magic happens.

Sarah Blakely, billionaire founder of Spanx, says:

“I think visualizing and manifesting have been a big part of my journey. I spent a lot of time daydreaming and letting my mind wander.

I often tell people: if you looked at your calendar for the next two weeks or month, how much time do you have allocated to daydream? Where in your calendar do you allow yourself to think of nothing?

When you're daydreaming and letting your mind wander, that's where the magic really happens. It's becoming harder in everyday life to get that.

We're distracted by everything now - we even have devices pinging us every two seconds. It's really special and important for us to spend time alone and figure out when that can happen.”

"I spent a lot of time daydreaming. That's where the magic really happens."

Sarah asks: "How much time do you have allocated to daydream in your calendar?"

Most people: zero.

Most successful entrepreneurs: lots.

Many think daydreaming is a waste of time.

"I should be productive," they say.

"I need to check more items off my to-do list."

Wrong.

Daydreaming is your brain on creative mode.

It's connecting dots you didn't know existed.

Solving problems you haven't even identified yet.

The way I see it: productivity is overrated and daydreaming is heavily underrated.

Productivity is for employees.

Daydreaming is for bosses.

Want to be a good employee? Focus on productivity.

Want to be your own boss? Master daydreaming.

Your next big idea is waiting in your wandering thoughts.

Go find it.
