Today, I’ll share one simple technique that makes a HUGE difference to how much I get done every day, and how happy and energetic I feel throughout the day!
I’ve tried several variations on napping, but this is by far the most cost-effective method. In just 20 minutes, you get almost as rested as in a full 2-hour afternoon nap. (Yes, I’ve tried those, and longer.) [Read more…]
