The harder you try to get more out of your time, the less time you have
The writing of the book wasn’t so much about having the time to write. It was about being in the
right state of mind to do the work at hand. I had discovered that today’s productivity isn’t so
much about time management as it is about mind management.
Welcome to the creative Age
o Manage your mind not your time
Your edge as a human is not in doing something quickly. No matter how fast you move, a
computer can move faster. Your edge as a human is in thinking the thoughts behind the doing.
“Earn with your mind, not your time.”
Yet many of us approach productivity today as if it’s the speed of the production, not the
quality of our thinking, that matters.
