A notebook, a walk, no agenda

SAMPLE JOURNAL ENTRY

Some ideas only show up when you leave the desk behind.

I took a notebook on a walk and came back with exactly three words written in it. I consider this a success.

Away from a screen, ideas have room to become less urgent. A thought can follow you for a while before you decide whether it deserves a page.

There is no need to turn every walk into a creative exercise. Sometimes the best thing you can bring home is a little more space in your head.
