I use it as a tool to clarify my thinking and goals, much as <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/2014/08/29/kevin-kelly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kevin Kelly (one of my favorite humans)</a> does. The paper is like a photography darkroom for my mind.</p> <p>Below is a scan of a real page. Both entries are from October 2015.</p> <p>The first entry (top half) is simply a list of “fun” things I felt compelled to schedule after the unexpected death of a close friend. Since I’ve ticked all of the bullets off. You’ll notice that I blurred out a few sensitive bits, and I won’t spend time on this entry in this post.</p> <p>The second entry (bottom half) was written in <a href="http://www.samovartea.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Samovar Tea Lounge</a> in San Francisco after a two-hour walk. The gestation period during walking and subsequent entry lead me to re-incorporate “deloading” phases in my life. “Deloading” is a term often used in strength and athletic training, but it’s a concept that can be applied to many areas. Let’s look at the sports definition, here from <a href="https://www.t-nation.com/training/get-bigger-by-doing-less" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">T Nation</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>A back-off week, or deload, is a planned reduction in exercise volume or intensity. In collegiate strength-training circles, it’s referred to as the unloading week, and is often inserted between phases or periods. Quoting from <em>Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning</em>: “The purpose of this unloading week is to prepare the body for the increased demand of the next phase or period,” and to mitigate the risk of overtraining.</p></blockquote> <p>So, how does this relate to creativity, productivity, or quality of life?</p> <p>First, I’ll give a personal outcome — In the last 12 months, I’ve used “deloading” outside of sports to decrease my anxiety at least 50% while simultaneously doubling my income.</p> <p>Deloading for business, in my case, consists of strategically taking my foot off the gas. I alternate intense periods of batching similar tasks (recording podcasts, clearing the inbox, writing blog posts, handling accounting, etc.) with extended periods of — for lack of poetic description — unplugging and fucking around. Oddly enough, I find both the batching and unplugging to free up bandwidth and be restorative.</p> <p>The unplug can still be intense (<a href="http://www.inc.com/magazine/201304/tom-foster/tim-ferriss-four-hour-reality-check.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here’s a personal example in Bali</a>), but you shouldn’t be working on “work.”</p> <p>Let’s dig into the journal entry, as it provides much of the reasoning.</p> <p>I’ve provided the scan (click to enlarge) and transcribed the entry below it, including many additional thoughts. The journal itself (Morning Pages Workbook) I explain <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/01/15/morning-pages/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>:</p> <p><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-26814" src="https://i0.wp.com/tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_5998_v2.jpg?resize=500%2C667&ssl=1" alt="IMG_5998_V2" width="500" height="667" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_5998_v2.jpg?w=2448&ssl=1 2448w, https://i0.wp.com/tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_5998_v2.jpg?resize=225%2C300&ssl=1 225w, https://i0.wp.com/tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_5998_v2.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_5998_v2.jpg?w=1200&ssl=1 1200w, https://i0.wp.com/tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/img_5998_v2.jpg?w=1800&ssl=1 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></p> <p>Now, the transcription with revisions and additional thoughts:</p> <p><strong>– TUES – SAMOVAR @ 5:40PM – </strong></p> <p>The great “deloading” phase.</p> <p>This is what I’m experiencing this afternoon, and it makes a Tuesday feel like a lazy Sunday morning. This is when the muse is most likely to visit.</p> <p>I need to get back to the slack.</p> <p>To the pregnant void of infinite possibilities, only possible with a lack of obligation, or at least, no compulsive reactivity. Perhaps this is only possible with the negative space to–as <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/2007/11/29/lack-of-seriousness-the-last-interview-with-vonnegut/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kurt Vonnegut</a> put it–fart around? To do things for the hell of it? For no damn good reason at all?</p> <p>I feel that the big ideas come from these periods. It’s the silence between the notes that makes the music.</p> <p>If you want to create or be anything lateral, bigger, better, or <em>truly</em> different, you need room to ask “what if?” without a conference call in 15 minutes. The aha moments rarely come from the incremental inbox-clearing mentality of, “Oh, fuck… I forgot to… Please remind me to… Shouldn’t I?…I must remember to…”</p> <p>That is the land of the lost, and we all become lost.</p> <p>My Tuesday experience reinforced, for me, the importance of creating large uninterrupted blocks of time (a la <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">maker’s schedule versus manager’s schedule</a>), in which your mind can wander, ponder, and find the signal amidst the noise. If you’re lucky, it might even create a signal, or connect two signals (core ideas) that have never shaken hands before.</p> <p>For me, I’ve scheduled “deloading” phases in a few ways: roughly 8am-9am daily for journaling, <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/2015/05/25/morning-tea-thats-better-than-coffee/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tea routines</a>, etc.; 9am-1pm every Wednesday for creative output (i.e. writing, interviewing for <a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/podcast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the podcast</a>); and “screen-free Saturdays,” when I use no laptops and only use my phone for maps and coordinating with friends via text (no apps). Of course, I also use <a href="http://www.inc.com/magazine/201304/tom-foster/tim-ferriss-four-hour-reality-check.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mini-retirements</a> a few time a year.</p> <p>“Deloading” blocks must be scheduled and defended as strongly as–actually, <em>more</em> strongly than–your business commitments. The former can be a force multiplier for the latter, but not vice-versa.</p> <p>So, how can one throttle back the reactive living that has them following everyone’s agenda except their own?</p> <p>Create slack, as no one will give it to you.

I love the idea of freezing thinking on paper and have also found the deloading period extremely valuable. Have you read Julia Cameron’s the Artist Way or her follow up book, Walking in This world. Both are about writing morning pages, having artist dates, and the deliberate scheduling of walking. The first time I walked into the woods deliberately, in the manner she suggested (and you) I was hit/overwhelmed emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually by what emerged on my walking journal. What emerged wasn’t frozen on the page, but it was frozen into my soul, my energy system. Also, I’d love to interview you as part of the company I am building (Freedom’s Edge: Awakening You to Your Highest Self and Purpose in Life, Love, Career). Reading your 4-Hour Work week and your blog has been a part of my businesses development. Thanks for all you do, Tim. Much appreciated.</p> <p>Matt</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas'

I have achieved some beautiful achievements so far and hit some hard lows also. I turned my life around during a period where no light was visible. I give thanks for the inner strength and light within, that I couldn’t have known existed during that time. I am at a place in my life now, which I can only describe as the “re-birth”. I separated my ex-partner last year October, I am living back at home with my Mum, and I have just today literally handed in my notice at place of employment. </p> <p>I am messaging you now at this point in life where I turn 30 years old on Sunday, because I want to take a new direction in life. My goal in life is simple. I want to be happy. Happiness to me looks very much like self acceptance, inner peace, becoming a more compassionate being, connecting with others, supporting development within myself and others.</p> <p>I have so many goals I want to achieve in this life. I want to become a successful entrepreneur. I want to begin charitable kick starter programs for people who lost sight of their inner light. I have always been told by family, friends and teachers growing up, that I have the potential to achieve anything in this life. Sadly, everyone knew this except accept for me. </p> <p>Change is hard, and the re-birth has been painful. But I know now, not to give up on myself. I met a beautiful human being, who has taught me the most lesson so far in life. This was that true love, firstly comes from within. Since last year November I have lost 55 pounds, quit smoking, become a pescetarian, practice yoga regularly as well as meditate. </p> <p>I have to be honest with myself now however and accept myself for all my flaws, as well as my qualities. Some really painful, honest, yet liberating reflection has been going on. I wanted to let you know that your story and commitment to yourself has been inspirational Tim. I aim to inspire determination, motivation, confidence and self-belief one into others. It’s a beautiful gift to inspire others. </p> <p>Have a beautiful life Tim!!</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-toggle wpd-hidden wpd_not_clicked" wpd-tooltip="Hide Replies" wpd-tooltip-position='left'> <i class='fas fa-chevron-up'></i> </div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123831_0'></div><div id='wpd-comm-123935_123831' class='comment even depth-2 wpd-comment wpd-reply wpd_comment_level-2'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='asmi8803' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8f1ec6b46e6f02ea78e0f577211911f1?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8f1ec6b46e6f02ea78e0f577211911f1?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123935" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> asmi8803 </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="May 26, 2016 4:53 am"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Holy smokes Luke, I relate to pretty much all of that as I’ve just beg... &url=https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123935' title='Share On Twitter'><i class='fab fa-twitter wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a><a class='wc_whatsapp' rel='noreferrer' href='https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=Holy+smokes+Luke%2C+I+relate+to+pretty+much+all+of+that+as+I%26%238217%3Bve+just+begun+my+own+journey+on+thi...+ URL: https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123935' target='_blank' title='Share On WhatsApp'><i class='fab fa-whatsapp wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-comment-link wpd-hidden"> <span wpd-tooltip='Comment Link' wpd-tooltip-position='left'><i class='fas fa-link' aria-hidden='true' data-wpd-clipboard='https://tim.blog/2016/03/29/deloading-phase/#comment-123935'></i></span> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-to"> <i class='far fa-comments'></i> Reply to  <a href="#comment-123831"> Luke Sanders </a> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-text"> <p>Holy smokes Luke, I relate to pretty much all of that as I’ve just begun my own journey on this path.

I’m going through a similar period, I feel it is re-birth, but being a perfectionist all my life (and still) it is so hard to come to terms with the fact that you are hitting the down turn. I don’t know how long it’ll last, but I do know that I feel I cannot keep trying to continue to live my life with the same mentality I did before (even though that brought me a certain amount of success, stability as expected by society). I started a business, left a marriage, now in a new job which I can’t settle in and can’t contribute value to. It’s tough, but I do think if you choose to live life and experience its fullest either the good or the bad, in the end it’ll be worth it.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123996_123831'></div></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123832_0' class='comment odd alt thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Create' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d7b4e41e869befd7ceda06d51082541e?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d7b4e41e869befd7ceda06d51082541e?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123832" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Create </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 29, 2016 7:26 am"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Maybe it’s writers’ thing – thinking on paper?

The way the words, phrases come together. Almost like music. It has some rhythm, melody almost.</p> <p>Anyway. I can’t live without deloading 🙂 It always happens naturally. I never plan it. Always been like that. Maybe it’s more female thing. Not sure.</p> <p>When I deload I allow myself to do whatever it is I want to do at the moment. For no reason at all. I might sing, dance, go fencing, go bunjee jumping, watch cartoons and comedy, paint or play music – it’s a surprise always.

There is a science behind it too. 🙂</p> <p>Great book about it, you might be interested in: “Move Your DNA”</p> <p>“Move Your DNA explains the science behind our need for natural movement – right down to the cellular level. It examines the differences between the movements in a typical hunter – gatherer’s life and the movements in our own. It shows the many problems with using exercise like movement vitamins instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet.”</p> <p>I have a talent to just feel things intuitively.

I work from home on both technical and creative projects, so I keep a pretty tight schedule on work days to provide myself some structure, including output quotas (billable hours, word counts, etc.) and a fixed routine.</p> <p>I try to take at least three “flex” days a week (usually weekends and at least one weekday), with no fixed schedule and no self-imposed quota. Sometimes I work on creative projects, but only when inspired. On these days I try to focus on rest, recuperation, getting outside, and connecting with friends and family.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing your “life systems”!</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123834_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123835_0' class='comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Colby' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1aabeebfc191d244dadbd43d1c84298b?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1aabeebfc191d244dadbd43d1c84298b?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123835" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Colby </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 29, 2016 8:40 am"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Wood Stove or Weed Store?

To put it nicely, It’s fucking hard work to take my foot off the gas. </p> <p>This is my 3rd deload trip so far. I usually take 6-7 weeks to backpack around a 3rd world country. The idea is to get away from the hussle and bustle of city life, live a different style of life than I normally do and see how other people live their lives. Ideally I find a quiet small beach spot with no internet and nothing to do and I force myself to sit there for a week. </p> <p>Also to practice a different way of life other than my vice-based norm. I go for 4 weeks with no alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and orgasms. It sucks, but sometimes it’s important to do things we don’t like. </p> <p>But here’s the thing Tim, I still work. I get a sim card with internet and I still answer emails. I’m not at the point in my businesses where I can afford staff or competent people to take care of things. If I took a 7 week break, that is a 7 week delay of getting to my vision for my business, and I’m just not ready to do that yet. I’m driven to see it to completion. </p> <p>I expect that one day when I finally figure out how to create a passive business that I’ll be able to truly let go. But I may just be kidding myself.

I think you hit the nail on the head that you’re kidding yourself. I know because I kid myself. Isn’t that the illusion?? You say “When I figure out X, I’ll be able to truly let go.” In reality, if you got hit by a car and died today, you’d let go. If the person you loved most said, “I need you by my side right now, I have terminal cancer”, you’d let go to be with them. It’s the same for me, Jamie. Do you think cultivate a “practice” of letting go would help you increase your daily happiness? My therapist always has my cultivate practices. It’s enormously helpful to determining the type of person I want to be. I told her I struggle with being monogamous. She asked “Do you believe in monogamy?” I said “yes.” She said “Then make monogamy a practice.” it’s been liberating.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123955_123841'></div></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123842_0' class='comment odd alt thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='ssmith823' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/717e5a3e92282425707e3d776a29bfd0?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/717e5a3e92282425707e3d776a29bfd0?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123842" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> ssmith823 </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 29, 2016 12:42 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Hi Tim, I too have used the morning pages for going on two years now.

It has been an invaluable resource for “clearing the clutter of the mind” and brain-dumping pent up subconscious thoughts that lay dormant. </p> <p>I’m wondering your thoughts on the dichotomy between:</p> <p>1. Brain dumping and being the impartial observer of your own thoughts, analogous to the practice of mindfulness meditation.</p> <p>And </p> <p>2. Taking control of your thoughts, steering them toward mindsets or states you feel to be beneficial. </p> <p>Can these two approaches live together simultaneously or do you believe you need large chunks (like this post outlines) where you choose one or the other?</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time, as I know this is the post precious resource that we all have. </p> <p>Best wishes, </p> <p>Shawn</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123842_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123843_0' class='comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Robert Maisano' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a0b44e8ad14bafb72e9a137603a8ad93?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a0b44e8ad14bafb72e9a137603a8ad93?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123843" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Robert Maisano </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 29, 2016 1:35 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Great post as always Tim.

Loved reading your journal again. It’s reassuring and practical, like a letter from Seneca, and cool to see I journal in a similar writing style.</p> <p>For those who haven’t read it The Power of Full Engagement is a great book, with similar themes to this post. I’ve used it to undulate through opposite phases of intensity and “deloading” throughout my workday. I find it helps me better manage my energy and separate the essential few tasks from the urgent many.</p> <p>Yet I still struggle to let myself take a full deloading phase (be it a day or few), despite how much Stoicism or Tim Ferriss I read. I know it would make me more effective and happier, yet still struggle to justify it. I’ve been in an intense period for months. Soon, I hope, to unplug.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas'

The same baristas (baristos? They’re dudes) have worked there forever and they pull a great shot.</p> <p>That’s where I go either on Tuesdays or Friday’s to pre-deload. For me, the pre-deloading looks similar to your journal, but I usually do lists in Wunderlist, which I heard about through Matt M on your podcasts so thanks, and sometimes a legal pad if I feel like I need it in writing.</p> <p>I’ve played guitar all my life and the fucking around part of deloading usually starts with a solo jam session, where I just riff and sing for a few hours. Usually I’ll record anything that I think merits it on Voice memos or garage band on the iPad, after where it then sits forever, which is probably the point now that I think about it, since the environment in which it was created was meant to be one of resultless activity.</p> <p>Anywho…</p> <p>The rest of the deload might involve going out for sushi, perusing the freezers at the Asian market in sarasota, walking aimlessly through the craft beer aisles at Total Wine, rummaging through whatever new cookbooks are out at Barnes and Noble, or poking around on the internet doing some non-social media reading.</p> <p>I started meditating a few weeks ago via Headspace, thanks again, and it seems to help, albeit indirectly, with keeping my focus on the actual deload and not getting sucked back into work related or personal stuff.</p> <p>Hey thanks for this post, it was a great one. And thanks for the podcast as well. Keep sharing.</p> <p>Your pal,</p> <p>-Matt</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123854_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123855_0' class='comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Jeff U.' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bb85ceece856701aacdaba0dffe412f7?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/bb85ceece856701aacdaba0dffe412f7?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123855" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Jeff U. </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 29, 2016 7:33 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Valuable translational concept – Tim.

found online (careful with this one too). </p> <p>They’re not all “unplugging and fucking around” in the pure sense, but definitely great mental palate cleansers between moments of focused work, and

I work for a startup in Barcelona, and travel back and forth from the Bay Area. I notice that I go harder, longer for the 2 months there (definitely imbalanced on the work side), and I tend to de-load when I return.</p> <p>My best ideas come during de-loading, and I would even go as far to say it’s an advantage/benefit for the business, my colleagues, and me. I return sharper, have less mental constraints, and stay fresh overall.</p> <p>By the way, there’s nothing quite like handwriting in your sacred journal space for opening up the spigots.

Burned the boat behind me to push myself into entrepreneurship & creativity when I could have juggled both, realistically. But I haven’t looked back and regret nothing — and the transition from “corporate” to feeling alive and creative has only been possible because I gave myself 2 months of rest between.</p> <p>Here’s what I’ve learned, to elaborate on your points:</p> <p>1. There will be times when we feel “moved” to rest. It’s an intuitive hit but really visceral, the way your body wants to rest after a long day or workout. Say yes to this stillness; it’ll revive you and your creative animal.</p> <p>2. Inspiration comes in waves. The muse strikes at the oddest hour, and usually requires two steps from you: working/ideating/hustling and then prolonged, deep rest. Sprint and rest. Does this mean we can only get quiet & relaxed enough to “hear” and catch ideas when we’re in play? Or do they come knocking only when we’re at rest? Either way, they have been crucial for my creative breakthroughs.</p> <p>3. Nature & meditation. Or really, whatever works for you. I’ve found that the “body” sort of knows what it needs to deload, as you put it. It’ll feel drawn towards certain people and no longer others; certain activities and not others; certain places & not others. This may sound woo-woo — but again, I liken it to the body’s intelligent cues like hunger, thirst or desire for rest: our creative animal also has its intelligence. 🙂</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123862_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123863_0' class='comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Julie Warnock' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/20b6eb5d6f67468f1c63c7926ef826e1?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/20b6eb5d6f67468f1c63c7926ef826e1?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123863" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Julie Warnock </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 29, 2016 9:49 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Tim, I’ve had my own business for 15 years, and always called deloadi... &url=https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123863' title='Share On Twitter'><i class='fab fa-twitter wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a><a class='wc_whatsapp' rel='noreferrer' href='https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=Tim%2C+%0AI%26%238217%3Bve+had+my+own+business+for+15+years%2C+and+always+called+deloading+periods+the+%26%238220%3Bqu...+ URL: https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123863' target='_blank' title='Share On WhatsApp'><i class='fab fa-whatsapp wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-comment-link wpd-hidden"> <span wpd-tooltip='Comment Link' wpd-tooltip-position='left'><i class='fas fa-link' aria-hidden='true' data-wpd-clipboard='https://tim.blog/2016/03/29/deloading-phase/#comment-123863'></i></span> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-text"> <p>Tim, </p> <p>I’ve had my own business for 15 years, and always called deloading periods the “quiet before the storm”.

Last week, I shut off the landlines at my office and went completely cellular. I decided that I needed to untie myself from the office, stop responding to manufactured emergencies, and spend more time racing sailboats.

I take time off from the business, most of the time to work “at” the business. Cut off communication and physical presence. I may be contacted for emergencies only. It gives me perspective and many good ideas are coming from those days.</p> <p>As un ultra-runner, I also practice something called “tapering” (which basically is the same thing as deloading, slowing down training before an important competition). For instance, before a 200km+ race I take at least one week of tapering, not doing anything related to running, just letting the super-compensation process to unfold.</p> <p>In business, I declined this concept by transforming monthly events (one of the growing revenue lines we established in the hub I’m managing, Connect Hub) into bootcamps. So, during summer, we will decompensate by traveling to the mountains and attending to workshops in open air.

My deloading time is each day from 5pm…rules are, no work or projects after that time, just reading, selective TV, researching my passions, journaling. 5:30am is “prayerwalking” and meditation/reflection time for an hour, then lattes with my wife…we literally spend up to two hours each day connecting and chatting now, loving the new deal!

If there’s some sort of a muddle of an idea, I struggle to know what to do with it. In the past I’ve forced my brain through it, ignoring blockages, but, I think without “getting it all out there” (even if it’s just to myself) I’m blind to other possibilities. Everyone must be different, but I seem to need to push against “how crap can this really get” before I can start seeing the trees from the forest. After the dump though comes the deliberate work. I am more at ease to pursue other possibilities once I’ve exhausted…the other possibilities. Like sitting in meditation, where I let all my thoughts run free inside the void, I come out of it slightly more enlightened, not because I’ve strictly held myself to a specific focused task, but maybe because I’ve allowed myself to experience whatever is happening inside and out. </p> <p>And then maybe comes some-kind of realization. </p> <p>Or not. </p> <p>(But is there a dose dependent ratio of dumps:ideas/productivity/enlightenment?) 😀</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123881_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123882_0' class='comment odd alt thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Christi' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/27b9de2b6b929e7ca16433f84bd015e3?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/27b9de2b6b929e7ca16433f84bd015e3?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123882" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Christi </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 30, 2016 9:09 am"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Life is cyclical.

Using detailed Minutes of Meeting (MoM), I systematically review the four areas of the business every two weeks. I add addendum to the MoM such as financial reports, MoM from project sites, correspondence registers, etc. Every other Monday, I have the Operations meeting, every other Tuesday is Business Development (sales), every other Wednesday is finance and accounting and every other Thursday is corporate development (both Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and corporate hygiene). Often times, I’m the only one that attends the meeting.</p> <p>I review these minutes on the Monday morning on the weeks that I do not have the meetings. This allows me to map out the week. I also keep a copy of the MoM with me in hard copy so if something comes up, I can write into the appropriate section and thus keep a running “not-to-do” list. As needed, I telecon with employees, consultants and outsourcing companies to review and update the data. If I had a physical office, I would probably pull employees in more often, but I’m happy working from home in Washington DC.</p> <p>This might seem a bit pedantic, but nothing falls through the cracks and I can actually feel like the entire business is under control. Last year, I was able to take an entire month off to go to Antigua to learn to kitesurf, here in a few months I’m moving to Spain and I’ve recently started taking Sundays off all while expanding to two more countries and raising several million dollars.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123883_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123884_0' class='comment odd alt thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='margaret manning' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e91be40d5d43a983b87574623720d94?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e91be40d5d43a983b87574623720d94?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123884" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> margaret manning </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="March 30, 2016 1:16 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Hi Tim, have been inspired for the past 3 years by your strength of characte... &url=https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123884' title='Share On Twitter'><i class='fab fa-twitter wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a><a class='wc_whatsapp' rel='noreferrer' href='https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=Hi+Tim%2C+have+been+inspired+for+the+past+3+years+by+your+strength+of+character%2C+transparency+and+crea...+ URL: https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123884' target='_blank' title='Share On WhatsApp'><i class='fab fa-whatsapp wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-comment-link wpd-hidden"> <span wpd-tooltip='Comment Link' wpd-tooltip-position='left'><i class='fas fa-link' aria-hidden='true' data-wpd-clipboard='https://tim.blog/2016/03/29/deloading-phase/#comment-123884'></i></span> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-text"> <p>Hi Tim, have been inspired for the past 3 years by your strength of character, transparency and creativity. After transitioning to an entrepreneurial lifestyle, I built a community of 200K women over 60 called Sixty and Me. Have made every mistake and made and lots of good decisions. Recommended 4HWW to pre-retirees dealing with ageism and stereotypes to help provide them a reinvention roadmap. Now off to Bali for 2 months. Glad this post appeared to remind me the importance of taking the time to breathe and align with my principles.

Get our deloading time is simple.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123912_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123913_0' class='comment even thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='john camara' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ec185b4f44f0b53afff8bcdf33b14c97?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ec185b4f44f0b53afff8bcdf33b14c97?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123913" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> john camara </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="April 2, 2016 6:42 am"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Tim, have you read Josef Pieper’s great philosophical piece “Lei... &url=https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123913' title='Share On Twitter'><i class='fab fa-twitter wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a><a class='wc_whatsapp' rel='noreferrer' href='https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=Tim%2C+have+you+read+Josef+Pieper%26%238217%3Bs+great+philosophical+piece+%26%238220%3BLeisure%2C+the+Basis+of+Cultu...+ URL: https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123913' target='_blank' title='Share On WhatsApp'><i class='fab fa-whatsapp wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-comment-link wpd-hidden"> <span wpd-tooltip='Comment Link' wpd-tooltip-position='left'><i class='fas fa-link' aria-hidden='true' data-wpd-clipboard='https://tim.blog/2016/03/29/deloading-phase/#comment-123913'></i></span> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-text"> <p>Tim, have you read Josef Pieper’s great philosophical piece “Leisure, the Basis of Culture”?

I never thought about making deloading this planned, but I will give it a try. Usually I schedule a deloading phase for the next day. For ex: “After having tea tomorrow morning, I will practice spanish for half an hour and improvise with random songs wearing only pants!!” or “I will not leave the house at all tomorrow and don’t use any screens”.</p> <p>I try to do at least one fun/creative/relaxing thing before I go through my “to do” list in general. AT first I realized, that when I deload, I tend do act like an hyperactive squirrel with a short attention span! Trying to do everything I would like to do at the same time. Then I decided it would be a good idea to categorize them, so I can pick an choose from the categories😀.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123914_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123915_0' class='comment even thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Verne Weisberg' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/83a3a236ce018df417938daad3a4e412?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/83a3a236ce018df417938daad3a4e412?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123915" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Verne Weisberg </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="April 2, 2016 1:44 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Tim, as usual, you have chipped away the extraneous, and thereby found the k... &url=https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123915' title='Share On Twitter'><i class='fab fa-twitter wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a><a class='wc_whatsapp' rel='noreferrer' href='https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=Tim%2C+as+usual%2C+you+have+chipped+away+the+extraneous%2C+and+thereby+found+the+kernel.+I+have+spent+a+li...+ URL: https%3A%2F%2Ftim.blog%2F2016%2F03%2F29%2Fdeloading-phase%2F%23comment-123915' target='_blank' title='Share On WhatsApp'><i class='fab fa-whatsapp wpf-cta' aria-hidden='true'></i></a> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-comment-link wpd-hidden"> <span wpd-tooltip='Comment Link' wpd-tooltip-position='left'><i class='fas fa-link' aria-hidden='true' data-wpd-clipboard='https://tim.blog/2016/03/29/deloading-phase/#comment-123915'></i></span> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-text"> <p>Tim, as usual, you have chipped away the extraneous, and thereby found the kernel.

So we must take them.”</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123924_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123925_0' class='comment even thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Will Werner' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9c7959c1324ba8e491703b6558472f37?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9c7959c1324ba8e491703b6558472f37?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123925" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Will Werner </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="April 10, 2016 8:00 am"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Thank you for writing this Tim.

I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been around cartoonists this year but they pretty much describe it as an all you need is a pencil, a piece of paper and a cup of coffee type of job, which applies to many arts. Sparky would play hockey and read his newspaper before heading to work on his Peanuts strip (The Schultz Museum in Santa Rosa, have you checked it?). On my deloading time, I’d personally get some action by either riding my mtb, playing tennis, stretching, yoga; or walking, running, jogging intermittently. Time with family and friends is always a must, as well as time for new experiences(art galleries, museums, new restaurants/places, concerts, that type of things). I found out the more I engage with the world around me the better of my time when sitting with a pencil or in front of my computer.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> <div class="wpd-toggle wpd-hidden wpd_not_clicked" wpd-tooltip="Hide Replies" wpd-tooltip-position='left'> <i class='fas fa-chevron-up'></i> </div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123929_0'></div><div id='wpd-comm-123930_123929' class='comment even depth-2 wpd-comment wpd-reply wpd_comment_level-2'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='simpleacts' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5d49a090714838283e0b380ed3a4a28?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d5d49a090714838283e0b380ed3a4a28?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123930" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> simpleacts </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="April 26, 2016 8:34 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Also, is Perú in your list???

I’m glad to have stumbled across your work when I did. This is brilliant and I can so identify with the thought process. With all the noise there is little room for intuition. Not only that, but I’m so much more likely to do better work more diligently when I am rested. My tendency, like so many, is to work around the clock and try to find my sense of security in the amount of hours I put in compared to the results. It’s horseshit and I know it, which is helpful. I was considering something comparable to your post here in relation to the pomodoro method of working to a 25 minute timer proceeded by a five minute break. I pondered if the principle inherent there was scalable. It reminded me of many things I’ve learned from your writing in the past. Anyway, I’m being long-winded. Thank you for your insight. They are invaluable to me and I cherish every bit of it.</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-up' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-up fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z'></path></svg> </div> <div class='wpd-vote-result' title='0'>0</div> <div class="wpd-vote-down wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true' focusable='false' data-prefix='fas' data-icon='chevron-down' class='svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14' role='img' xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 448 512'><path d='M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z'></path></svg> </div> </div> <div class="wpd-reply-button"> <svg xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='0 0 24 24'><path d='M10 9V5l-7 7 7 7v-4.1c5 0 8.5 1.6 11 5.1-1-5-4-10-11-11z'/><path d='M0 0h24v24H0z' fill='none'/></svg> <span>Reply</span> </div> <div class="wpd-space"></div> </div> </div> </div><div id='wpdiscuz_form_anchor-123932_0'></div></div><div id='wpd-comm-123933_0' class='comment odd alt thread-even depth-1 wpd-comment wpd_comment_level-1'><div class="wpd-comment-wrap wpd-blog-guest"> <div class="wpd-comment-left "> <div class="wpd-avatar "> <img alt='Milton' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fb5af168359704bd5766639860d390fe?s=64&d=identicon&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fb5af168359704bd5766639860d390fe?s=128&d=identicon&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-64 photo' height='64' width='64' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> </div> <div id="comment-123933" class="wpd-comment-right"> <div class="wpd-comment-header"> <div class="wpd-comment-author "> Milton </div> <div class="wpd-comment-date" title="May 4, 2016 8:09 pm"> <i class='far fa-clock' aria-hidden='true'></i> 8 years ago </div> <div class="wpd-comment-share wpd-hidden wpd-tooltip wpd-top"> <i class='fas fa-share-alt' aria-hidden='true'></i> <div class="wpd-tooltip-content"> <a class='wc_tw' rel='noreferrer' target='_blank' href='https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=That’s a great plan!

I’m in between career opportunities now and have ample time during the day to schedule activities, but sometimes feel trapped in focusing on one item for an overextended amount of time, and then feel really drained at end, which also leaves me little time to do other tasks I wanted to take care of. I noticed you penned in “Peru” in your journal. Dude, I don’t know if that is a place you have already traveled to, but in case you haven’t, by all means go! I went there years ago and was floored with all the country has to offer – from Lima to Cuzco. Machu Picchu feels almost other worldly; you’ll sense what I mean once you get there. The Peruvian people are very nice and welcoming, as well. If you like lager drinks, I recommend the “Cusquena” beer.</p> <p>Thanks for creating great content, Tim. I enjoy your podcasts and blog posts. </p> <p>– Milton</p> </div> <div class="wpd-comment-footer"> <div class="wpd-vote"> <div class="wpd-vote-up wpd_not_clicked"> <svg aria-hidden='true'

for over a year now and have found it helps not only with muscle growth/recovery but has allowed me to keep training hard in my mid -forties as I did in my 20s and 30s.</p> <p>I have recently scheduled a deload week in my life where I scale back and allow myself more time for reflection, self assessment and relaxation.</p> <p>Works a treat I can assure you.</p> <p>Thanks for
