Helping You Work Smarter and Live More

When we start to feel burned out and overwhelmed, we often think of getting away on a grand vacation. But what if we told you you don’t have to go to a beach thousands of miles away to decompress and feel rejuvenated? This recent study conducted in Korea explores how nature, even in indoor spaces, can help us relax and focus. 

Little slices of nature indoors might be the accessible solution you’ve been looking for to help you recover from the mental fatigue of demanding work (and personal!) schedules. Read on to find out the results of the experiment and actionable takeaways that can help you start your own mini staycations right inside your office or home.

Did you miss one of our previous breakdowns? Here are some you might find helpful.

Let me guess…you became an entrepreneur so you wouldn’t have to follow some rigid schedule or set of processes that seemed pointless. You want to do things YOUR way. You want freedom. I get it — me too.

If you hate the feeling of being forced into a rigid schedule, you’re not alone. Techniques like time blocking can feel like the freedom you value so highly is being snatched away from you. Not fun.

Often I see entrepreneurs swing from the extreme of planning only what has a true deadline (e.g., meetings and deliverables) on the one end to trying to plan every minute of every day on the other. It’s not all that surprising that neither of these are the right fit.

A new study challenges the common belief that caffeine enhances cognitive performance. But it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to ditch your caffeine altogether! Researchers tested regular coffee drinkers and found surprising results that might make you rethink your daily coffee habit. If you're one of the millions who rely on caffeine for a mental boost, this article offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between your favorite stimulant and your brain function and what goes into finding your sweet spot.

This article was written by a guest expert for those who want an insider view of how these models work to better understand what they can, and more importantly, can’t do.
