When you're working for a large corporation it is impossible to justify thinking time. Imagine if you spent an afternoon in an office on your own and told your boss you were "thinking". You'd probably get told that you're not paid to think!
When we own or run a small business, thinking is crucial.
It is important not to spend the whole time "doing", but to spend some quality time "thinking". As business owners or entrepreneurs, it is incumbent upon us to come up with new solutions, new ways of doing things, new products, new ideas.
And to do that, you need time to think.
Sitting in an office may not be the best place to do it. Get away from interruptions - yes, turn the mobile phone off! Go for a walk in the countryside, or even the city, lie on the beach, or in your garden. Take a notepad and jot down any ideas that come to you.
Often, there may be none, but it doesn't mean that ideas will never come. And it's good relaxation anyway.
Make time - and take time to think.
