[...] These days, plenty of people are facing “involuntary entrepreneurship.” They’ve lost their gig and need to reinvent themselves as self-sufficient solos or small business owners. Others understand that “job security” has always been a myth and are simply sick of the crap that comes with working for others. Regardless, all it takes is one good idea, right? The temptation, especially when under pressure, is to work more, rest less… cranking away until you get that great idea. Grind it out. Stay focused. Be tough. Sleep when you’re dead. Wrong.

Thanks so much for this – I’m a real daydreamer and always give myself a hard time about it (I should be doing something more constructive like reading!!) – really great for someone to point out that it’s valuable to creativity.

I also am a big fan of sleep and just getting away from work in general when the juice runs dry – I always think it’s important. Many of the people I see working crazy hours only do it because they’re unproductive – I’d prefer to work fewer hours, get lots of sleep but be really effective when I am working.

This blog is turning out to be a fantastic resource – keep it up!

The execution and implementation of a great idea is really a series of problems and challenges that require your full creative awareness.

That is very true. I always sleep when I feel too much pressure from work. Once I wake up, everything feels new and fresh. I am ready to rock n roll !

I wake up with good ideas, but then they slip away as I try to capture them and put them into a more real form.

Not sure if the ideas really aren’t so great or if there’s something blocking me from pulling them out of the ether.

But this is a great article, more naps, less coffee might be the way to go.

Beautiful. More sleep. I’ve learned this from personal experience, but hearing some validation is long overdue and welcome news. I just thought I was a big wimp.
