Recently I came across some interesting-even-tho-obvious articles about how much we work and how it affects our focus.
In this NPR report, it's best to get 10 hours of sleep... I know! Who has that luxury?! But a small study showed that football players were able to run faster on more sleep, and children with set bedtimes tended to perform better in school. Now how about for adults...?
And then one has to ask, is multi-tasking with various tech gadgets making us more or less efficient? One NY Times article shows that our overall productivity and focus decreases with the more time we spend texting, checking email, etc. And our relationships suffer, too - especially for children. We're addicted to being plugged-in, and it's damaging our relationships.
How do we find the balance between work and play, work and rest?
What are some ways you have set limits on when and where you check your email? Text? Talk on the phone?
