Thinking Breakfast

I often talk about my “thinking breakfasts” and in this video, I explain why I do them, the process I’ve honed, the things I do in them and what happens when I don’t.

In particular, I talk about:

🗓️ how I started them as my New Years Resolution in 2021.

⏳ how I have “found” the time for them every day

🤔the discipline I need to have so that I use them for “Deep Work” (a book recommended to me by Deirdre Lyons) and the “important and not urgent” work on the Eisenhower matrix

✅ the things I think about including sales proposals, presentations, new ideas and conversations (eg a recent one with Maria Cronin about diversity and inclusion initiatives for young people)

📲 when I do and don’t use my phone

🙇‍♀️how I use “Rocky.ai” to help me when I don’t have anything or too much to think about

☕️ how I sometimes have them with other people (eg Carol Glynn FCA this morning at Brunch & Cake in hashtag

#Dubai) and sometimes people ask me to think for them

🕳️ the deficit that happens when I don’t do this

📈 how this is an example of an “Atomic Habit” (a book by James Clear)

📝 why I always write on a napkin

I hope this is of use to you too.
