Feeling stuck? Go for a walk.

There is no mental block strong enough to outlast the power of a 30-minute walk.

It's a fact that some of your most creative moments come during periods of boredom.

• On a walk
• In the shower
• Driving in silence
• At dinner by yourself

You’re bored, your mind wanders, and your thoughts mingle.

Bam! Creative insight strikes.

Schedule more boredom into your weeks.

Simple challenge for all of you:

Go for a 30-minute tech-free walk every single day next week.

• No phone
• No music
• No podcasts
• No articles
• No audiobooks

Just you, your thoughts, your gratitude, and the fresh air.

It’s a simple reset that will unlock new creativity and shift your perspective.

Frédéric Gros, A Philosophy of Walking

[Andrei Hortopan @AndreiHortopan]

The freedom in walking lies in not being anyone; for the walking body has no history, it is just an eddy in the stream of immemorial life.” 3/3

[Andrei Hortopan @AndreiHortopan]

But isn't being someone also a social obligation which trails in its wake – for one has to be faithful to the self-portrait – a stupid and burdensome fiction? 2/3

[Andrei Hortopan @AndreiHortopan]

“Being someone is all very well for smart parties where everyone is telling their story, it's all very well for psychologists' consulting rooms. 1/3

[Andrei Hortopan @AndreiHortopan]

Free will is an illusion, but don’t treat it as such. Instead, focus on your willpower to make the best decisions.

[Paul Murphy @paulbz]

Founders that are focussed on financial outcomes over industry-defining impact struggle to stay engaged long term, especially during downturns.

So many reasons to build a product you're passionate about, and a company with purpose, but I think this is the most important one.
