How to Handle Low Capacity Days (Rebroadcast)
Creative Recharging for Low-Capacity Days
AI Key Takeaways
- Often the lowcapacity comes from us pushing too hard for too long. So these are just days to help us get back on track to where we should be.
- We should use that both and thinking and say, I'm having a lowcapacity day and I deserve a break.
- And so we have this idea that we don't always have to push harder. We can also start doing the things that are going to make us feel better tomorrow.
- One of the most overlooked ways of recharging is doing creative things. What I'm talking about is just fun creative stuff that we're doing for the enjoyment of doing it.
- Most of the writing I do has a creative element to it, but I'm doing it for work and that doesn't create the same kind of recharging energy.
- What we're looking for here is something that'll stretch our brains but won't stress us out.
- Think things like drawing, coloring, playing with Legos, writing a poem, making music, or maybe even doing a puzzle.
- You're doing that wordle, right?
- But of course, I also like to try and get away from screens for this kind of creativity. Not because screens are bad per se, but more to that, when I'm on that screen, I'm more likely to be drawn into some other app instead of what I intended to do.
- And these are just some examples of a few ideas.
