"I had to let that expectation of intense, hyperfishing, hyperfetch a productivity go because that has never been my reality," he says. "So much creation happens when you are not actively creating." He's found writing in the morning doesn't work for him and started experimenting with different modes of making at different times. The book is due out on November 1 from Simon & Schuster.
Last week on SPARKED we heard from DJ Didonna about the potential life changing experience of taking a sabbatical.
And after much pondering and planning, Jonathan did just that, a month stepped away from two companies and almost all work responsibilities to pursue a creative project or two.
So this week on SPARKED, Jonathan shares his reflections on the experience.
He shares:
- How he prepared to take the time away from his multiple roles
- What he aimed to achieve
- A surprising discovery about his humanness
- Was it long enough?
- And would he do it again?
