54. CHESS-LIKE ASSIDUITY & ARMCHAIR MEDITATION
(The real use of deep thinking)
You can be always working in the bussines you need to work on it also (same for life)
You have to step back and see the big picture
Chess thinking
1. Get a chair
2. Step back from everything
3. Maybe some reading to stimulate the brain
4. Then some thinking ahead on some moves that you can make regarding some problem that you have (just one problem, who runs after 2 rabbits catches none)
If you are in your problem you can’t see other solution you need to step back and get an eye bird perspective
Meditation — getting a higher perspective and detaching from your problems so you can see them clearly -> less reactive more solution and innovation
Without solution you go nowhere fast
Your life is mostly a product of your decisions (not quite)
So:
1. Step back
2. One problem
3. Go deep and think through all options you can (5 whys)
4. Outside knowledge for creative solutions
