I came across this good article recently. Please consider reading the whole article at the below link:

I am not a believer on meditation. That would be the only point I would not accept from the article.

The author begins the article this way:

Do you ever get so busy with the details of your life and the countless things you need to complete, that you end up feeling exhausted and disconnected?

The result: Your mind becomes clouded and unable to focus and you start to make poor decisions regarding your priorities. You end up working hard instead of working smart.

How to start:

Set aside quality time to enjoy and do the things you love to do, simple things like walking, hiking, watch people etc. Main point is to turn off all distractions like phone and especially all media. Enjoy everything that you are doing as you are doing it.

Ideas from the author:

  • Brain dump: writing all your random thoughts down
  • Hiking
  • Biking
  • Working out
  • Book store (no magazines)
  • Listen to music
  • Watch people
  • Sit on your patio
  • Take 100 photos
