Bring a Blank Piece of Paper to Each Meeting

"I start every day and meeting with a new blank sheet of paper. This allows new ideas for the future to blossom, not tying me to every idea from the past."


Read Every Night

"I love to read. Not on my cell phone or computer, but an actual book. When I spend the last hour or two before bed "disconnected" I seem to start my morning off on the right track, often boosting my creative thoughts. For me, reading at the end of the day sets the tone for the 24 hours in between, often making me stop and think about what I read the night before the next day."


Schedule Time for Yourself

"Scheduling time to do things that make me happy has helped me digest thoughts and push the reset button. It's important for things not to get too intense, resulting in burn out. Whether it's engaging in a hobby, hitting the gym, grabbing coffee with a friend or reading a book, 15 minutes to an hour a day goes a long way. Put on the calendar "Meeting with Self," so it's sure to happen."
