The idea of breaking up the routine and going for a walk (content creation idea # 18) is closest to what works for me, especially when working from home. When I feel myself heading towards a mental crash, I dial a kitchen timer for twenty minutes and head off to do some chores. Two things happen when I use this approach. First, I get twenty minutes worth of work done around the house, and that’s a good thing. Second, after twenty minutes, I’m usually feeling mentally refreshed and thinking clearly again. I guess when I’m given the choice of content — or — house work, my brain suddenly starts working again. That choice is clear to me.
