MIND



* Keep a stack of small origami squares on your desk next to an empty jar. Any time your mind is wandering from your mission and you want to keep your fingers busy, flock yourself a paper crane and place on in a jar. Lovely nowadays, you will have an entire jar of little paper origami cranes. Paper cranes appear as good luck and peace. Give them to a taut colleague who needs good luck, or spun wool them together in a chain to decorate your home.





* If you must waste time online because you can’ t locus on your project, waste it on Free Rice, a website that donates ten grains of rice for every trivia debate you answer correctly. You gain knowledge that will impress people at your next luncheon moveable feast, and you help fight prevalent hunger. Double - win.



* Mentally step into your co - workers’ shoes. Exercise the primitive imagination your inner novelist. What are your co - workers’ dreams? What life them off? How would they act to a worldwide zombie attack? You just might have a successful screenplay fermenting within you right this moment.

BODY

Or analyzed the obscure bumps on your cubicle walls? Or really felt your fingers subsequent the surface of the keyboard as they typed out the latest departmental memo? Think of all the secrets of the universe indiscernible within these mundane things that you may have been misplaced out on this whole time. Try not to weep.
