Bring a Wading Pool to Work :)

I found this lovely comic in my local paper and decided to share it for the spirit if not for the practicality of the advice it offers.

The truth is, however, that a little break during the day refreshes the body and reinvigorates the mind. I was thinking of this recently when I reflected on elementary school. We had a morning recess; lunch; and an afternoon recess. And all of those represented breaks from the active learning process and left us to go off to other places - real or not - rechannel our energy, and then return with a clearer mind and better focus.

This already happens. People in our organizations and on our teams find these moments on their own or with friends and colleagues. So why not make it an intentional part of your culture?

As for me, I'm thinking about investing in wading pool!
