Protected thinking time. Step out of the work long enough to think about the work.

CEO Hour

There's an idea in a book called Thinkertoys that stuck with me: most ideas go nowhere, but you only need one to really work, and when it does the payoff is wildly out of proportion. One good idea, working in your life, is enough.

The ideas are already in you. You just haven't sat down long enough to pull them out.

That's what the 15 minutes is for. Bring the thing you keep going back to: a decision, a conversation you're avoiding, something you can't start. I'll take you through it on paper, on your own. Nothing is shared. Nothing is recorded.

The event is booked for 30 minutes so there is time to arrive and wrap up. The ideation itself lasts 15 minutes.

You leave with one sharper question, and one thing to do about it this week.

CEO Hour is a personal project and a general thinking and writing practice.
