I have exactly the same thoughts. I have now started to get up a lot earlier in the mornings and do go for a walk sometimes.

Thanks for the post, Matt

What I've found is that, if you really want to have the time, you have to make it happen. That's why I get up at 6am every day before work and read, work on my portfolio, blog, or whatever freelance job is on my plate for an hour 40 minutes before the rest of the world is up and I have to get ready for work. It's tough once you start off but it quickly becomes habit. Don't forget the coffee!

I really appreciate it. @Jacob - I agree that socializing is also a very productive use of time. I actually think that the people who can manage to balance the two are going to be the most successful. If you are excellent with people skills and love to socialize, you are in that much better of a position to sell the ideas that may have manifested themselves in your time alone.... Thanks to all of you guys that posted comments! I am glad you appreciated the post! I wanted to say thanks to Lazy Man for posting my article. I really appreciate it.

I notice that I function better if I just turn off the noise every so often. Don't get me wrong, I love being around people... but I also don't need an iPod plugged in my ears at all times, or need to sleep with the TV on. I agree with this article – at least for me.

Extroverts would be more productive socializing. The people mentioned in the article were all introverts. It would actually be an interesting study to see what personality type finance bloggers have? Anyone ever take the MBTI? I'm an INTJ. Thinking time is probably better spent on introverts. Extroverts would be more productive socializing. The people mentioned in the article were all introverts.

I actually reserve "thinking time" in my schedule to ensure that this happens for me. And my first book is at the publisher. I think the two items are absolutely linked! Without "thinking time", I would not have been intentional about getting my thoughts into a book! AWESOME post!
