Reporting from my Mexico vacation, I am back with another episode of Storied Life Coaching to talk to you about the AMAZING results of living in an intentional free space, even after just 24 hours.

"It's too selfish to take time to be by myself; I have ideas for work that would be left untouched and a family to spend time with." How many times have you convinced yourself a phrase like this was true? I speak from experience when I say that it is all too easy to fall into that line of thinking as entrepreneurs.

For me, it required a kick in the ass from my wife to show me how much anxiety I had about being by myself and accept how healthy it would be for my mind. So I'm going to share some of those things that will help you be able to free your calendar and take out the scarcity mentality around working 24/7.

Take my challenge. Ask: what does your ideal life look like to you? Don't wait around for the stars to align; work toward it in increments. I guarantee you, you'll come up with more ideas, your brain will normalize this, and you will have a moment where you wonder why you waited so long to get around to it.

3 Key Takeaways

• Move activities that interrupt your work flow–even for five minutes. Use a blocking method to take care of that busy work when your time isn't dedicated to innovation.
• When you're in that intentional white space, DON'T act immediately on any new ideas. Keep your brain in a mode of ideation until later, when you've made space for working.
• Making intentional time for your brain to sit and be creative is NOT laziness. It's time to reconstruct your ideology around what is productive and what isn't.
