External contingencies like exams and work deadlines are usually the reason, but sometimes internal motivation has driven me to keep my eyes open for a bit longer as well. Here is what I've found helps me to get the most out of this kind of situation. Use body clock to take small breaks And what helps is first of all to avoid what doesn't help.

Email newsletter 19.01.21

2021 looks simultaneously gloomy and full of potential. Here are my two cents to start it off wisely.
