Thanks a lot Nnamdi for the tips. I can relate with that walking part; no matter how disconnected from work I feel, the moment I go for a walk I'm automatically recharged.

Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad the read came early!

I agree with taking walks and also changing work locations, esp when I'm having a brain block. I take a walk to clear my head most of the time, and it helps. When I work from a particular place for a long time, say for days, I start to get bored, and my productivity slows, so I change my work station and my productivity increases.

Mixing things up always helps. I also take different routes from time to time

3 isn't really practical for the girlies, the hair, the makeup. How we wan do am? Coffee can be substituted with tea. Green and black tea are known for their caffeine and L-theanine content, which helps with alertness and mental clarity without the usual coffee jitters. Best options are lavender and peppermint teas which can help reduce stress, promote relaxation and create a more mindful state. You see the walking one, everyone should 100% get on that.

Hahahaaa, how I forgot the fact that it might not be practical for some people to wash their heads and faces regularly! 😂 My bad!

You see that substituting coffee with tea? That's a hard task 😩

Love the tips but the frequent espresso drinking and energy downtimes you’re experiencing are linked. You’re experiencing a glucose spike and that’s why you need espressos in between to have a seeming “level of energy”

You might want to not start your day with that kind of sugar or if you want to, then you preface it with a protein that can help your body process the sugar slower, leading to less glucose spikes and a sustainable amount of energy during the day.

I’d recommend this book (it’s by a scientist and I found it very helpful, she’s also on YouTube incase you don’t have time to read it) the title is glucose goddess by Jessie Inchauspe.

Thank you so much, 'Pelumi

I 100% agree with your position on the espresso-energy crash link... and thank you for your book recommendation. I always have time to read! I'd get the book.

Thank you for sharing, Azodo.

I find number one interesting, taking walks, but executing it for me is what I don’t know how to. I work remotely, ànd it’s the type that you have endless tasks on your to-do ànd à demanding àfter work life.

I go to the gym, but I would really like to incorporate walking, for the sake of thinking and stirring creativity, how do you suggest I approach this?

Hi Dammy 👋🏻

I can def relate to the endless to-do lists and unending calls.

A few ideas: you know those calls that are mainly FYI? I take some of those walking. I hardly eat lunch, so I walk during my "lunch break". I also have personal time blocked on my calendar.

You can start with walking for 30 mins, once a week...

As always, thank you for reading and interacting. ❤️
