Some (not all) evidence-based takeaways:
- Get natural light in the morning
- Protect time for deep, focused work and minimize distractions.
- Use active learning
- Exercise regularly
- Walk / take real breaks when mentally stuck (or come and talk to me!)
- Controlled breathing can help reduce acute stress
- Keep a reasonably consistent sleep/wake schedule
Other messages are maybe less "evidence-based", e.g. the “90-minute focus cycle” (not a universal scientifically established rule). Some numbers are exaggerated/misquoted.. but all in all most practical habits are really good!
