#383 How pausing increases performance

from Squiggly Careers Hosted by The Squiggly Career

In squiggly careers, if we want to be at our best at work, we need to punctuate our days with pauses. This week, Helen and Sarah talk about how adding long or short pauses into your day can help to increase your performance and productivity. From playing around with pauses in meetings to reflecting on your levels of 'space and speed', they discuss ideas for action that can prevent sameness and help you to get unstuck.
