Time-Outs Give Way to Innovative Ideas and Growth by Elinor Stutz

When frustration hits, it is wise to take time out to regroup and reorganize your thoughts and ambitious plans. During extraordinarily challenging times, it helps to isolate oneself to replay disturbing instances and then allow the mind to wander. A wandering mind often offers unique ideas for serious consideration; even better, it can lead to a more fruitful experience.

However, whether entrepreneurial or job-related, quitting an endeavor is the worst road of all. Why? ‘We have one life to live, and we do best by living it without regret.’

If you feel you are at a dead-end, an excellent approach is to take time out from work to realize how to perform better to achieve your desired goals. Although a timeout may sound like a timewaster, it can be used for strategic planning. Moreover, acknowledging the purpose of our timeout ultimately becomes the perfect platform to encourage and inspire growth. Surprisingly, ideas appear seemingly out of nowhere that can greatly contribute to future success!

Alone Time

By allowing our thoughts to flow freely, new ideas appear. Our job is to pick the one that either appears frequently or appeals most to us and consider it from all angles. Those who willingly spend time alone will examine the idea of XYZ from multiple angles to determine their next best steps.

Time Outs Provide:

Private thought without experiencing sneers and unwanted statements.
The time and ability to examine an idea from multiple perspectives.
Realization of how you may connect the dots between what is already in place and the new idea.

One Step At A Time

Attention to detail is critical to transforming an idea into action. Like observing fireworks, for example, from multiple angles, we can ignite our enthusiasm to move forward with an exciting idea. We don’t realize initially how one idea may generate new ones and positively affect what is already in place. The only requirement is to be daring and willing to revise what may need further assistance to convert the one small step into something unique that becomes known globally.

Holidays are generally a slower time for business and a good time for a timeout while, year-end is the most hectic of all. During the slower months, it’s good to revisit your thoughts about ‘if only’ and ‘I wish I could.’ As you observe life, equate it with your career endeavors. Connecting the dots again may raise new ideas that excite you for future growth regarding mindset, possibilities, leadership, and business growth. Upon realizing you are on the ‘repeat’ cycle, it’s wise to seriously consider the ideas you are keeping secret.

Ideas often require significant background learning, but they typically increase the enthusiasm for proving they can be done. Even better, you reach new heights unexpectedly, which motivates you to continue enjoying time outs for future planning.

Summarizing: Free Time Can Produce Innovative ideas and Growth

Over time, as we realize our accomplishments and the reason they occur, bravery can set in by sharing what we learn. I refer to bravery because many may sneer at your findings. Networking in person and connecting online with those who think similarly will add to the dynamics of your overall strategy. While free-flow thinking might be yours, the results arriving from collaborative efforts far outweigh what we can do solely as individuals. A time-out may be your key to strategic planning.
