The Greatness Code

03: Thinking Time


Listen Later

What if I told you that dedicating just two hours a week with a pen and paper could transform your life? That’s the essence of thinking time—an intentional period where you sit silently, free from distractions, to reflect on your thoughts, goals, and challenges. This practice fosters clarity and direction, leading to better problem-solving and decision-making.


In this episode of The Greatness Code Podcast, Vamsi Polimetla shares how thinking time changed his life. Introduced to the concept during the 2019 Tony Robbins Business Mastery conference by Keith Cunningham, Vamsi was initially skeptical. However, after committing to two hours a week of focused reflection, he gained the clarity needed to transition from his corporate job to entrepreneurship.


Vamsi emphasizes that many waste mental energy on distractions instead of harnessing their potential. He encourages listeners to slow down and recharge their minds. Throughout the episode, you'll learn practical steps for implementing thinking time into your routine, including choosing a distraction-free environment and setting specific goals for each session.
