It seems to make sense to turn to web-based adaptive work tools at a time like this. They promise, and have proven to make our lives easier, but don't discount the benefits of making new physical and mental spaces daily. Say What?

Examples of this "space-making" are simpler than you think and include resting your eyes, standing from time to time, and using your hands for something other than typing or texting daily.

Our unsolicited advice of the week, (although we seriously struggle with sticking to it) is the ever popular "journaling". Before you eye-roll 🙄 and stop reading let's make sure to define journaling. Journaling: (verb) to write in a journal or diary...Boom, done. Thats it.

No one said you had to write your deepest, darkest feelings, let's be real…We are not always ready to go "there" right now. Journaling can be anything from writing a daily “to-do” list, to drafting an email you want to send later that day, to a Larry David doodle (our personal outlet) while you're on a call. The practice of accessing this "old school" pedagogy, and creating alternative a new work space (even if only briefly visited) will benefit you when you return to your "digital-space".
