Peak creativity occurs by relaxing into the two main seasons of high-productivity. If you’re serious about becoming a virtuoso, balance periods of being in the world with periods in the wilderness of isolation, contemplation, reflection and renewal.

Such times are not a waste. Actually, it’s essential to the incubation of the next-level insights that will cause you to own your game. And for protecting the assets of genius that will allow you to sustain your mastery over the coming decades.

My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I’m absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness. You can order it now by clicking here.

The key to world-class productivity is not working in a linear way. In other words, the key to really getting epic things done is not getting up in the morning and working till late at night. The key is to be much more like a sprinter versus a marathoner. The key is much more work in short bursts of intense productivity and then take the time to recover. So every day, work for a few hours. and then take some time to go for a walk, and work for another few hours, and then take some time to maybe take a nap. And then each week, take a day or take two days off. Every month, take a few days off. I mean, rest and recovery is not a luxury, it's an absolute necessity, because otherwise if all you're doing is working, you're going to deplete the five assets of genius. What are those five assets? Number one, your mental focus. Number two, your physical energy. Number three, your personal willpower. Number four, your private talent. And number five, your daily time. And if all you're doing is working, then you're actually going to erode those five assets of genius. So you really wanna work for short bursts of time, and then you wanna take the time to rest. And that's not only sleep, but resting can be meditating. Resting can be active recovery like walking. And you also want to make the time for fun. It's like when you're going for walks, when you're hanging out with your friends, when you're watching documentaries, even when you're taking trips, please remember you're not only recovering your assets of genius, but having fun is when your best ideas are incubating. So I don't want you to be someone who is only busy being busy. I want you to be monomaniacally focused on working hard when you work hard, and then I want you to have a lot of fun. And here's the payoff for you. You're going to actually work a lot less and you're going to get a lot more done.
