Doing nothing

It’s easy to get locked into a cycle - as individuals or teams - of continual busyness. We tell ourselves that we need to stay busy to stay productive and yet often, this is the worst thing we can do.

When our brains aren't focused on a task, they return to a default state, making unusual connections and solving problems we didn't know we had.

Yet we never create any space for the mind to wander; which is why our best ideas often come when we’re in the shower! 

So if you feel overwhelmed or paralysed by action, then maybe spend 15 minutes doing nothing and see what creative thinking it unlocks.
