Midday brain reset routine

Video suggests resetting a tired brain with silent phone, L-theanine, a 15-minute walk, and staring at a wall before resuming one task.

Sometimes the smartest thing you can do at 2:17 p.m. is stop trying to squeeze more work out of a cooked brain. ⠀ Close the laptop. ⠀ Put the phone away. ⠀ Walk outside for 15 minutes. ⠀ Let your eyes look farther than three feet in front of you. ⠀ Then come back and do ONE thing. ⠀ We’ve built workdays where a person can bounce between Slack, email, texts, 19 tabs, meetings, notifications, and a spreadsheet before lunch… then blame himself for feeling scattered. ⠀ You don’t always need another productivity hack. ⠀ Sometimes you need less input. ⠀ A quieter brain makes better decisions. ⠀ And better decisions usually make more money than another frantic hour at the desk. ⠀ –cashflowlaws

Phone on silent. 400 mg L-Theanine. 15-minute walk. 10 minutes staring at a wall. This is how you reset your brain in the middle of the day after bouncing between too many tasks, tabs, messages, and meetings
