A hot cup of coffee and the NYT Games app. Whenever I hit a wall during the work day, I'll pull out my phone and play Connections, Strands, or Spelling Bee. It keeps my brain active and figuring out the puzzles is always satisfying.

I make sure to take a break in the middle of the afternoon and just distract my mind for five or ten minutes. I'll usually grab a soda and check some news on my phone and just deliberately distract myself. I find that little break as a daily ritual helps me organize my day and keeps me from feeling like I'm spinning my wheels.

A good long lunch 💕

A few martinis and then a nap! Kidding. I like to get moving. A walk around the neighborhood or the office (including doing the stairs). Get your blood flowing. I also recommend scheduling the break on your calendar if you live in a meeting heavy corporate world.

Getting up from my computer and walking around.

I also like getting up from my computer and walking around when I can get away with it. Chocolate or something sweet makes me happy. This isn’t very healthy though. Or the right song coming on my playlist the right time.

Fidget toys on my desk.

Is my manager forcing me out?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??
