The 10-minute afternoon walk

I started what I hope will be an excellent, sanity-restoring tradition this afternoon. It consists of a 10-minute afternoon walk around the perimeter of my company's campus, in the shadow of Mount Timpanogos. The weather this afternoon was phenomenal, just toeing that line between summer and fall. Along the way, I considered spending the rest of the afternoon working from under a tree. The best part of this tradition is that I am not allowed to spend it looking at my phone or my laptop. Interrupt-driven people such as myself struggle to take time for thinking, but it was really refreshing.

  1. I'm glad you won't be on your phone during this time, it will really allow you to disconnect and remember what the world is about.

  2. I did this again today. It was warmer than I might have liked, but it was still a good break.
