GET AWAY FROM THE GRIND Need an escape Here are some ideas 1Follow the 20-20-20 rule. Set a timer to go off every 20 minutes while youre at your desk. As soon as it goes off look away from your monitor and stare at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. 2Use the Pomodoro Technique. Set a timer for 25 minutes and start working. When it goes off stop working for five minutes and use that time any way youd like. Do that four times and then take a 30-minute break before getting back to work again. This technique creates urgency which might inspire you to make quicker decisions and waste less time. 3Capitalize on your ultradian rhythm. Set a timer for 90 minutes and begin working. Silence your phone. Block Facebook. When the timer goes off stop working and take a 15-minute break. Keeping with the ebb and flow of your body will maximize your productivity and creativity. 4Allow yourself the weekend. Divide your weekend into activ- ity chunks the way you would a workday. Doing so may help you become more comfortable with the idea of doing nothing. 5Take random days off. If you have some spare days in the bank give yourself a three-day weekend. Or schedule a Wednesday off and break up the week. Then use that time to do something other than work.
