What people say...

 

 

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which I live - the Yalukit-Willam - and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging.

A nap is a better way of working 

Schedule it in. Sometime between 2-4pm and for between 10-20 mins. 

Go to the same place, lie down, close your eyes … and nap!

Workdays. 

It’s like a coffee break but don’t drink the coffee. 

I find I can have a nap maybe 1-2 days a week, but wondering about making it a regular work day thing. 

Don’t do this if you have insomnia. 

And I imagine anyone who’s diary is ‘packed’, ‘slammed’ or ‘back-to-back’ may not see how this is even possible. 

Start scheduling some time. 

Even if you don’t nap at first, but just stop, take a break, empty your cognitive load, move, think differently, get some fresh air, talk to a human in person, or reprioritise your to-do list … they’re good things too. 

Keep looking for better ways of working for they will become better ways of living.
