Disconnect (feat. Derek Sivers)

from Let the World Forget Us by Abstraction

lyrics

All the best, happiest, and most creatively productive times in my life have something in common: being disconnected.

No internet. No TV. No phone. No people. Long uninterrupted solitude.

It’s not that I hate people. The other best times in my life were with people. But it’s interesting how many highlights were just sitting in a room in that wonderful creative flow, free from the chatter of the world. No updates. No news. No pings. No chats. No surfing.

Silence is a great canvas for your thoughts.

That vacuum helps turn all of your inputs into output. That lack of interruption helps you flow. Every business wants to get you addicted to their infinite updates, pings, chats, messages, and news. But if what you want out of life is to create, then those are your obstacles.

People often ask me what they can do to be more successful. I say disconnect.

Even if just for a few hours. Unplug. Turn off your phone and Wi-Fi. Focus. Write. Practice. Create. That’s what’s rare and valuable these days.
