In order to think well, sometimes we have to clear the decks. Clean the house, tend to the piles, clear out the emails, do the laundry, clean out the fridge, return the phone calls, make a decision, book the flight, pay the bills, sincerely apologize, knock out the punch list. Whatever it is that is waiting for your full attention and your best thinking, do what it takes to clear the decks.
It will pay off.
I promise.
