Time to just think

Some interesting thoughts from Aaron Patzer, founder of Mint.com about taking time out in his interview with workhappy.net.

“What’s your secret to time management? Any methods/tools/approaches you can share?

Really I just work flat out as long and as hard as I can. I don’t have any rules like “only answer emails twice a day” or anything. The most important thing I can tell you is to set aside an hour or two each week to sit alone in a room with no distractions and just think. Think about your business and your product. Hard thinking is something most people avoid, and it’s actually very easy to avoid – there are always other things to do (like press, answering emails, communicating to your team, etc.). Sit alone in a room and just think.”

The full interview is here.

Mint.com is possibly where WhoStoleMyMoney got their idea.
