When was the last time you took a complete day off from your electronic devices?  For me, it has been a while.  I tend to have decent boundaries with my technology generally speaking, but I tend to struggle with getting my mind to rest...and I tend to constantly go where my mind leads me rather than letting my mind wonder and play and bounce here and there and eventually just get to a point where it lands on something for a while.

Today, this morning...in fact, right now, I am going to set a timer for 10 minutes, and I am going to sit with my cup of coffee in silence for 10 minutes.  Nothing to write with, nothing to search the Internet with...just me and my thoughts.  At the end, I will pray.  For the next week, I will add this to my morning routine.

Where can you insert a few minutes to silence?  Leaders are not just doers.  Leaders are thinkers...thinking requires time and space.  Let’s let our doing be the creating of that time and space where we can think.
