A short monologue by Kim Zoller reflecting on whether to use running time to plan tasks or to be mindful of nature. Kim reports that focusing on nature clears her head and leaves her mental energy available to tackle her to-do list later. She recommends blocking and protecting high-focus time so cognitive energy is conserved for demanding work.
Hi. So yesterday I did taking strides with Kim all about feeling stressed and feeling like putting everything down. So if you didn't see it, go look at it. And something else occurred to me that I just wanted to share and add in another taking strides with Kim. And that is that when I'm taking strides and I'm running, do I focus on all the things that I want to teach and do and what's on my to do list or do I focus on this beautiful nature that's around me? And I realized that if I focus on the nature, I actually have a clear head. Focus on airplanes. I can focus on anything, but I have a clear head to go do my to do list. So a little challenge for you in blocking out your time in specific things, staying focused in that block so that when you're actually working on the things that use a lot of brain power, you have the battery there to use the brain power. Have the best day.
