Over at Blogher in the Business and Career section, I came across the post Low Tech Breaks Inspire Creativity. Of course this sort of post is right up my alley so I had to share it with you.

The post cites a recent article by Working Solo entitled Get Out and Get Low Tech .

Too few small business women take time out - from the business AND the office - to get the creative juices flowing.

Isn’t this the truth? And the more doing and doing you’re doing, the less chance you have to feed any of the creativity needed to be successful, innovate, or solve problems. We tend to stay glued to our PC and our office figuring if we just work a little harder everything will fall into place. Unfortunately, if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always gotten. If you’re looking to start or grow your business, that’s not going to work so well.

When it comes to strategic planning, it is near impossible to do that sort of creative brainstorming and planning without getting away from it all. You don’t need to rent office space or go on a luxury getaway, you only need to disconnect for a while and get out of the usual mode of operation.

So try out a low-tech day now and then to truly set your business and your life plan on course.
