Some key takeaways from this episode include:
When you’re crafting a daily morning or evening routine for yourself, consider these elements: stress relief, work recovery, responsibility, and recharge. These don’t need to be extreme or long. Even just dedicating a few minutes to each element can make a huge impact.
Neuroscience shows that our brains are most productive for 40-90 minutes at a time, and that on average we can only get about 4 hours of really focused, productive work done. Pushing ourselves beyond these limits without breaks can lead to workout.
If you travel a lot for work or have a busy schedule, advocate for yourself to work half days for a couple of days when you’re back in town or at the end of a big project so you have some time and space to recover with time for yourself.
