Back-to-back meetings leave each one half open. Five minutes to write down what you are taking from the last, move, look away, and walk into the next with only what it needs.
How to do it
- 1Close the last meeting's notes. Write one line on what you are taking from it.
- 2Stand up. Reach your arms overhead and breathe out slowly.
- 3Look away from the screen, out a window if you can.
- 4Fill your glass of water.
- 5Sit, feet flat. Three slow breaths.
- 6Open only what the next meeting needs. Read its first line.
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
