Scheduling Time With Yourself

I want to build a team that will become a great company. I have joined a business forum with several business owners outside our industry. We meet once a month for a few hours. Today the topic was Inspiring a Vision. How do we inspire and enable our employees? How do we as business owners share with our people the vision of where we want to go.

Solitude is a wonderful way to do this. Schedule an hour or two with yourself. Find a quite spot somewhere outside away from your workplace. I recommend bringing a journal and leaving your cell phone behind. Pray and ask God for direction and answers. Be honest with yourself and write your thoughts down. You will enjoy working on yourself and your business, Another benefit of journaling is creativity. It is a scientific fact that when you spend time writing your brain releasing new creativity in other areas of your life.

Scheduling this time with yourself should be a priority. Just like your other priorties, if it doesn't get scheduiled, it doesn't get done. One to two hours alone with yourself and God will be some of the most productive time ever spent.
