                            Podtime and short rest; this is definitely the way forward. As technology continues to develop at warp speed, we find ourselves increasingly  limited in terms of how much information we are able to process on a moment by moment basis.

The human brain, as sophisticated as it might seem, is still developing its capacity to deal with the volume of incoming information traffic that we have to handle in our daily lives. I see the effects of this in my professional and clinical work as loss of productivity, insomnia, burnout and other serious health problems.

Enlightened individuals and organisations will increasingly have to look for clever ways of going ‘offline’ in order to optimise productivity, health and wellness. Maybe businesses will even start to see that this is where a competitive advantage may lie.
