@fredrikaa I totally get it when you say we need to disengage the problem solving parts of our brains. With the modern world being so connected through internet, phones and media, it is really hard to really isolate ourselves.
I am glad to hear that your vacation (a beach in the Norwegian mountains ) rejuvenated your mind. It surely bodes well for the HIVE community since you will engaged with renewed vigor on projects for HIVE platform.
I consciously take a break every Sunday and literally go off the grid. As you will see from my posts, I am passionate about wildlife photography so I go into wetlands and jungles where there is no contact with other humans and technology. It certainly works to clear my mind and I feel refreshed
Thanks for sharing your experience with the HIVE community.
That's a really good idea. I recall hearing it from a speaker at a conference too who was leading an ambitious incubator, and he said it was the only way he could sustain working as much as he did the rest of the week. I always admired the idea, but seem to always come up with excuses for why I need my phone, social media, etc during the weekend. Really, I should just leave my phone at work some fridays...
Good for you though! I will make sure to check out some of your posts following each weekend trip then :)
@fredrikaa It will be an honor if you take a look at my posts and provide feedback. Most of the posts by me are a result of those Sunday photography trips. For example, the Kingfisher with Crab catch was taken early morning on a Sunday while returning from an Owl photography session on Saturday night. The minivet was taken on a Sunday afternoon 😀
Will look forward to more of your posts with tips of refreshing the mind and maintaining a work-life balance etc.
