Highly productive people produce every single day, whatever it is they produce. Now the easiest thing for most people to produce in most fields is to write something you might be music composer, you might be a chef, but you could still write down a recipe you want to try. You can write down a concept for the scene in an opera, writing, the sheer act of writing and putting something down in text, as I mentioned, you I dictate my writing. It forces you to think it forces you to process to put information in hierarchy to categorize and it then makes it easier for you to act upon it. So I am a huge, huge fan. Some people believe in journaling, which sounds a little touchy feely to me.

Some people like to just sit down the first moment they wake up, and just whatever comes to their head right down on long paper type or dictate. There's no one perfect way of doing it. There's no one perfect time of doing it. But great writers write every single day and many of them have work habits not as strong as Isaac Asimov, but they at least spend six, seven hours a day writing every day or they give themselves a quote at least 1000 words per day or two full pages a day. And this can apply to any field you're in. If you aren't a large corporation and you manage hundreds of employees.

You can write down your own thoughts on how to improve your management, how to improve the systems, in your corporation, your hospital, whatever it is you manage, even if no one else ever sees it. The sheer act of focusing your ideas and creating something is immensely powerful. Now, you may be in a completely artistic field of pottery or sculpture, well then sculpt every single day. productive people produce everyday they don't wait for inspiration. They just produce every day. I write every day or I should say I dictate every single day.

I work on new courses, online courses every single day. Does this mean you have to be a total Brian and you never take holidays? You never take vacations. You never take a weekend. I'm not saying that. But for every day when you're not specifically on a vacation, or holiday, produce, you can't be doing other stuff and busy work for six months of the year.

And then so well now I'm going to be creative, and I'm going to be highly productive. For most people, it just doesn't work that way. So my advice to you is figure out what it is you want. To create every day and if you're not certain, just write just write about ideas. You have things you want to do. insights you have nasty angry letters you want to send to me but that you're not going to send get it down on paper.

This is producing when you produce something every day. Even if it's yourself, it builds confidence in you and sometimes skills that will help you be more productive in every other aspect of your life.
