One great benefit of down time is that it is good for our creative minds! It gives them chance to relax, recuperate and when our minds are silent out best ideas come through. .-= Richard | RichardShelmerdine.com´s last blog ..Receiving Guidance From Your Role Models =-.

I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about cool new plot twists for my novel…

For me, the best way to switch off is to have some non-work thing that I’m really engaged with. Usually a great book, or a TV series that I’m really into. It has to be MORE interesting and compelling than work if it’s gonna get me to stop… which at times is hard!

I’ve not come across Barbara Sher before, have popped that book on my ever-growing Amazon wishlist. Ta!

Oh man. I am the worst at this – I find it so hard to turn off. I’m always coming up with new ideas, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night to write down new business ventures and changes in direction.

It’s great stuff, but damn it would be nice to relax a bit. Funnily enough, it’s better when I’m on the road because I have so many other things to do (for those who don’t know, my thing is travel/tourism, so travel for me is both business and pleasure).

It’s almost like sensory overload for me is the way to cope. Barbara Sher writes a great book about ‘Scanners’ and I am definitely one of them. Knowing and recognising that though is a great way to stave off problems. Though it is difficult!

Sounds like a great weekend! And I’d agree with you — starting the week off well is so dependant on what we’ve spent Saturday and Sunday doing.

Thanks Jim! I think I (sadly!) know just what you mean by “sludge”. Hope you can wade through it to something less sludge-like…

I dance like no-one’s watching (and I draw the curtains just to make sure!)
