The first thing that you have to do is to stop being afraid of not having something new to say. Stop feeling you have to be the one with the most information about a given topic. It’s okay to know less, as long as you are doing what you want and being creative.

The first step is about understanding that your time is valuable and it’s better spent on doing what you enjoy rather than talking about it. The second step involves understanding the difference between working and talking. Working involves getting up from your desk, going outside, and doing what needs to be done in order for work to get done. Talking means explaining things in words, which sometimes can take a lot of time or lead nowhere at all.

Talk less and work more isn’t just a cliche, it’s actually practical advice that anyone can use in their personal lives or at their jobs

Talking Less vs. Working More

People who want to work more and spend less time talking will need to learn the skills of solitude.

The skill of solitude is cultivating and taking advantage of your time alone.
