Most of Caleb’s questions and thoughts are voiced in the car when I drop him to his daycare in the morning.

While my 3-year-old is normally very inquisitive and talkative, he goes into this thinking zone when in the car and occasionally comes up with an interesting question. 

He prefers to gaze into oblivion through the window than be entertained by music or silly talk. 

I tried practicing the same and saw amazing results!

Our calendars are often packed with a bunch of meetings that make it hard to carve out time to think without doing anything. 

Bill Gates talked about how Warren Buffett had an empty calendar with just 3–4 meetings scheduled in a month.

“I had every minute packed and I thought that was the only way you could do things.” 

But Buffett taught him the importance of giving yourself time to think.

Sir Richard Branson recommends that you “open your calendar and schedule time just to dream.”

Take it from the best – game changers like strategic marketing, ideation, and innovation require time and thought.
