Recess

By anticipating (scheduling) a 20 min break, I am able to sustain 90 min time blocks to get my tasks complete.

My preferred workflow is four 90-min blocks each day:

6:00 AM - 7:30 AM

**Recess 1**

8:00 AM - 9:30 AM

**Recess 2**

10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

**Recess 3**

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

**Recess 4**

3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

**Meditate / Exercise**

You'll notice a 30-min 'recess' break between blocks (which are actually 20 min breaks + a buffer). This ties back to the recess we had in grade school. In order to sustain five solid productive blocks/day (working towards 3), I force myself to take a break to:

• Recalibrate

• Reflect

• Relax

• Meditate

• Recharge

• Prepare Ideally, I am working in plan out my next 90 mins during recess. I'm also working to apply the lessons of effortless and winning the week.
