In these days of constant electronic overload from a variety of devices aimed at ensuring everything from news and social media to family commitments and work communication are immediately available, it is vital to create time to think by putting your phone and laptop away. I regularly utilise this time to clear my head, reading through and adding to different pages in my notebook, updating and planning. My focus usually would be on: - my to-do-list - people I need to network with - ideas and key projects - personal goals - reflections - recommended books and films Where, when, how and why?
Where?
Anywhere you are able to switch off for 10/15 minutes:
Spare meeting room at your office
Quiet space at home
Coffee shop
Taking a walk during lunch
When?
Make this a regular commitment every week or two weeks
How?

Use a notebook to jot down your ideas and thoughts
Use the back of your notebook to make lists of important things that you can refer back to regularly
Turn off your phone and laptop
Why?
Regain energy and focus
Creates thinking and reflection opportunities
Switches on 'you time'
