Have you heard this saying Touch Grass?

If not it's an alternative way of telling someone that you're spending too much time online and you should go outside.

Usually, you'll find people saying this phrase in the gaming community.

But it can apply to anyone who spends too much time online.

Take us as business builders, on more than one occasion I've seen conversations of how people spend every waking hour building their business.

That dedication is good, but the reality is it's detrimental to you and your business.

You have to take breaks (touch grass).

The absolute best thing you can do for the growth of your business is to step away from it.

Doing so allows you to:

  • Recharge your batteries
  • Get a fresh perspective on things
  • Gives your mind a break
  • Allows for more creative thinking
  • Allows for better problem solving

I think people are under the impression that if they step away from their business it will hurt the progress of their business.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The growth of your business depends on you regularly taking breaks. Short ones and long ones.

So, if you haven't already - Touch Grass

I believe in you!

Hi, Leo.
I believe in you too.
Once in a while, just smoke some.
Not too often. It causes upper respiratory problems.
But man, the enlightenment...

Recharge your batteries
Get a fresh perspective on things
Gives your mind a break
Allows for more creative thinking
Allows for better problem solving

And it allows you to connect with a higher power.

Nice to hear from you again.
Perhaps one day our paths will cross.

Paul from Canada.

One day they might, what part of Canada are you in?

Southern Ontario, Canada.
Cheers.
Paul.

I'm on the west coast

A great post as always Leo, but touching grass always had a different meaning for me back in my youth!!

We should always take breaks away from the screen as we need them, sometimes our best ideas appear to us this way!

Thanks for the share my friend and enjoy a fabulous festive season!

Lol…

It actually does help to do other things.

Sometimes an idea can come from everywhere while doing something else completely.

as I mentioned earlier, I get my best ideas when I'm away from my computer and business

Yes, it always helped me, too, I completely agree with you

Hi, Leo

I totally agree, and I'm frequently "preaching" this in my WA posts.

We need to schedule some downtime each day to do the things we enjoy, including "touching grass!" It's healthy and will help us work more efficiently!

Happy Holidays! 🎄

I enjoy walking away from the computer. My best ideas happen when I'm away from my business

Me too! 😎

Reality check, this is. One prob - our grass is covered with snow, so, no go in snow. But I can go slow and stay in the know while letting the wind blow the cobwebs away.

Yeah, snow outside for me too. But you can still go outside and make snow angels - LOL

I'll pass.

Great message, Leo!

-Mike

Thanks
