How Your Brain Works & Changes January 4, 2021
Key Action: Organize productivity into NINETY minute cycles, the first five to ten minutes will be hard. Follow that cycle with twenty minutes of deep rest (Yoga Nidra, Mindfulness).
Agitation and strain are the entry points to neuroplasticity, the ability to form new neural connections, which becomes harder as we age.
We are optimized for attention in ninety minute cycles. Twenty minutes of DEEP REST (turning off DPO to easy and relaxed state) after a period of intense focus and struggle, accelerates neuroplasticity.
Master Your Sleep, January 11, 2021
Key Action: Get light in the morning and at sunset (as little as two minutes if bright and up to twenty minutes if super cloudy) and avoid bright light at night, especially 11pm-4am! And consider whatever NSDR (non-sleep deep rest) activities may work for you. Check out Headspace, Reveri or the Yoga Nidra links and try any of them early in the morning or after 90m of focused learning/work/activity.
