Turn off notifications on your smartphone
As soon as they wake up in the morning, about a third of Britons think about work and rush to check their email. According to experts, constant thoughts about work eventually cause something like an attack of claustrophobia: it seems that this stream of letters, calls and notifications will never end. Turning off notifications on your smartphone allows you to free yourself in some way. And often after such a release, we have interesting creative ideas. By the way, in numerous surveys of neuroscientists, people often note that ideas simply "came to mind" when they dreamed, cooked dinner or took a shower. For some time of a creative breakthrough, evening walks with the dog become.

Take regular breaks from work
Scientists have long noticed that interesting ideas come to us in those moments when the brain is not busy with active work. The famous American screenwriter Aaron Sorkin even took advantage of this in a very original way: noticing that creative insights happen to him not while working at a laptop, but while taking a shower, he installed a shower cabin in his office, and there is information that now he takes a shower 8 and even 10 times a day.

Optimize work meetings
Being present at work discussions and meetings proves to be quite exhausting for most of us. According to the observations of psychologists, during working meetings we are in a state of so-called “self-moderation”, which is quite burdensome for the psyche. Researchers advise allowing for several short breaks during long meetings: usually after coffee, a snack, or just a timeout, productivity improves.

Discussing working moments on a walk
The idea of going for a walk with a colleague you don't particularly like may not seem very comfortable, but according to numerous studies, walking makes us more alert, more creative, and even more empathic.
