These days I often have a lot of time to myself, not only for working outside of being an employee, but for those reflections on what I feel is a future ambition.

That scenario in the cafe, when everything is quite does seem like a rather unique experience as a blogger, no?

Hey Ryan,

I’ve been enjoying the quiet of my office for about 2 hours since my wife went to bed. Love the lack of interruptions for productivity’s sake.

What I do in these times is read my favorite blogs and work on my own, as well as plan my day.

Hi Ryan,

I enjoy the quiet hours. I genuinely prefer solitude. I wake up between 4:30 – 5:30 AM every day to get in my walk and meditations with nobody around. I also work at home. The headphones go on – or stay off – the phone is shut off for extended periods, and it’s just me and my thoughts. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I also feel that it’s vital to spend many hours alone to figure out who you are. Most people aren’t themselves; they want to be what others think of them.

I’ve found myself by being by myself. There’s no greater satisfaction than discovering your life’s purpose and devoting 99.99% of your energy toward it.

Great blog. I’m putting you in my Reader.

Hi Ryan,
My first time here. My quiet hours differ depending on what I need to do. However, the thing I do to keep myself going through those times is to break everything down into ‘bite-sized’ chunks. That way I can measure and feel the progress.

My whole daily structure has changed while doing my website. I’ve become a night owl, usually working until 6AM.

I live alone, (well with 2 dogs), so I don’t have the daily distractions listed above. But I do have the daily distractions of sunlight, friends stopping by, phone ringing and shopping during their business hours.

From midnight to 6AM everything is closed & most people are home asleep. Also, from midnight to 6AM I’m not tempted to call anyone or leave the house. That’s when I get my best work done.

I am still trying to find some quiet time where there are no distractions. I have found that my isolating headphones help dramatically…
Thanks for another thought provoking post…

true! Especially: “The quiet hours are the ones that nobody sees, the ones that create an overnight success in a matter of years.” I love that! No one sees the hard work that you put in, just the outcome, just the success.
