I’ve been trying a new balance in my work this year.
I begin work with a 30-minute break before launching into a 90-minute “deep work” session. No distractions, music, phone, background noise, etc…
During the 30 minutes, I pursue break-time activities that enrich my life, body, and intellect. Walking, stretching, running, working out, reading, writing, practicing new skills, and more.
It’s only been about one month, but the results are great. Let’s see where I am by summertime.
