BornEntrepreneur

As an entrepreneur yourself, I’m sure you can relate to having so many thoughts going through your mind all at once, non-stop, all the time. Sometimes the best ideas don’t even hit you until your head hits the pillow. Right? It’s constant information—all the time. But sometimes you reach the point I’m at right now. Overload.

I’ve learned through past experiences that in order to combat this overload it’s best for me to just relax and take it easy, letting things clear up on their own. Seems simple and obvious, yes?  But, alas, this is extremely frustrating. Why? Because as a part-time entrepreneur you don’t have the freedom to do just that. Wait. Hold up. Not fair.

Perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects for me about working a full-time job is that I don’t feel like I own my schedule. When I feel overloaded I can’t just read a book for a couple hours during the day (or heck, even for 30mins). I can’t just go for a long walk outside. I can’t just simply close my eyes and go to sleep. The highly structured setup of corporate America steals your ability to repair itself in times like this. Which just makes for less productive workdays until you slowly and eventually grow out of your funk. It’s really very silly actually. A simple and relatively short hiatus from mind clutter could save hours upon hours of wasted time. Seems quite obvious to me. But others just don’t get it I guess. They just want you sitting at your desk doing something. “Butts in chairs,” he says.

Just another reason to keep on trucking…
