Boredom clears the mind – there is so much power in allowing yourself some boredom. It clears your mind of the cobwebs and optimizes the cycles you have. When you add a beautiful place, it compounds the effect. I’m starting to understand trips outside without any communication – if nothing else, you’ll be clearheaded on your return.
Ugh work – Ugh, the stuff that makes us better 10 years from now that have little impact today. It isn’t fun, but it’s the difference between an iterative career and an exponential one. Make time for it, and realize there won’t be an output.
