Uncrap Your Day : A Guide For Getting Away From Your Computer

My blog friend Andy Wibbles was kind enough to usher me to a post by Andrea J. Lee.

She’s got a lot of good info that will help you get away from your work, if only for a few minutes. Which, by the way, is sometimes all you need to let inspiration strike.

Here’s some of what you’ve got to look forward to :

1) MOVE -” Little urgent matters that crop up in a day can have a way of keeping you mesmerized by your email, never more than arm’s length away from your computer. Could your laptop be throwing off a magnetic force or something ? ”

2) SHUT OFF INPUT - ” Being too full is one of the most common reasons for feeling like crap, and nothing’s worse than crap except when it overflows, wouldn’t you agree ? ”

3) PLAY A CUTE GAME WITH SILLY MUSIC - ” Overusing my head can make my ‘engine’ run too hot, and just like a car, usually a breakdown is imminent. I spend more time cooling my jets at this site than I might admit to my husband, but sanity is worth it, I tell ya ! ”

4) PULL A COSTANZA - ” If something’s not working, a little or a lot, stop and try heading in the direction of the energy flow, often the opposite of where you’ve been pushing. ”

5) LAUGH AT SOMETHING - ” Purposely looking for something to laugh at can sometimes feel like trying to tickle yourself, but you may surprise yourself if you start creating a routine around it. ”

Andrea’s got a truck load of links and even more office wisdom waiting for you, so don’t wait any longer to read her guide to Uncrapping Your Day !
