Jim Collins says effective people schedule "white space" free from calls, email, and social media for deep thinking. Rick Warren reads a book daily, roughly 1,000 books in three years. Disciplined habits and distraction-free time separate the productive from everyone else.
Effective people take time to think. Begin the discipline of putting white space on your calendar where there's no phone, no email. I was going to say no fax, but they don't even have that anymore. No Twitter, no emails, no connections, and engage in these glorious pockets of quietude to think. Do you know that Rick Warren reads a book every single day? A book a day. A book a day, 365 days a year. You're at 1,000 books in 3 years.
