⌨️Beat writer’s block like a Nobel Prize winner

Hope you caught a peek of the sunrise this morning. If not, the sunset will be along after while.

Today’s Feature is for all y’all who are beaten down by having to write a ton of newsletters, sales emails, articles, scripts, apologies to your partner, etc. Writer’s block can be brutal. But I’ve got the easiest fix ever. And you don’t have to take my fix — I'll list a few more if you don’t like the easy way.

Silence of the Lasers

Heard a lady on Joe Rogan’s podcast talking about how she interviewed some 99-year-old professor.

This fellow had invented the laser. Won a Nobel Prize for it. He must’ve been brilliant. Still is I guess, since she said he still goes to work daily!

Anyway, it wasn’t just his brilliant mind that led to him inventing the laser. BTW - the laser industry is worth over $17.82 billion.

The inspiration for this monumental invention didn’t come after an 18-hour workday with his last bit of energy almost expired. Nope. Grinding did not produce the idea. Silence did.

Dude was sitting alone on a park bench doing nothing when the idea for what would become lasers creeped inside his mind.

Now, Rogan has a theory that ideas are alive. Literally living things. He wasn’t on mushrooms during this episode either.

Let’s play along. If ideas are alive, maybe they’re just like other living creatures and wanna breed to further their “species.” To do that, they would need fertile ground. Or at least an opening to plant seeds, right?

Well, is a cluttered mind fertile ground? Are there any openings for new ideas in a mind filled with 24/7 incoming noise? How receptive is a mind after working twelve-hour days six or seven days a week?

Silence is what beats writer’s block. Find quiet places you can rest your brain and fresh ideas will find you.

I understand working hard to make ends meet, so taking a break to find quiet spots isn’t always easy. However, most people can afford to wander off from the noise for half an hour here and there.

Now, if you don’t like my easy solution to writer’s block, no worries. Try the other options below:
