When you are on a flight with nothing to do, a few hours seem so long. If you so choose, you can get a lot done on a flight. I wrote the bulk of my first book on a long flight from Sydney to LA!
Having quiet time away from your car and other distractions can be very productive. I find that when I am at a library and have left my car at home or at the office or with my wife Farzana and have nowhere to go, I can get a week’s work done in a day!
What it proves to me is that we have enough time to do all the important things we need to do, however, we waste a lot of time in unnecessary distractions.
