Work productivity, time management, organization, tools and tips

This is the second in a series of three posts, all based on Rich McIver's article, How to Power Nap at Work, at Spine-Health.com Blog.  They’ll all be posted today, so you can show them to your boss Monday Morning.

 “You can do it”.  “Just keep trying”.  “Don’t give up”.  “You’re not working to your potential”.  “You can’t give up NOW”. 

How many times have we heard those phrases?  How many times have we wanted to say, “leave me alone for 20 minutes!!!”? 

Without sleep, we cannot operate.  It’s as simple as that.  Yet we succumb expectations and wind up not achieving our best work. 

In How to Power Nap at Work at Spine-Health.com Blog, Rich McIver points out that daVinci, Einstein, and Edison were all power nappers.  Gee, if it worked for them, maybe it’ll work for us.

What do Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison all have in common? They’ve all made important contributions to the advancement of mankind, they’re all distinguished in their respective fields, and they were all avid power nappers. -- Rich McIver 

Maybe we should all experiment by taking a power nap for a week or so.  It’s a safe bet we’ll likely wake up saying, “you most certainly can do it”.  That’s a whole lot shorter than what we’ve heard before; it’s a whole lot easier to swallow, too.

Nap well.
