However, research into brain activity and hydration proves the necessity of drinking water. Children's IQ scores raise, attention improves and since the synapses are viscous, they are mostly water. Drink up! At least 8 cups a day, and 12 if you are recovering from illness, facing a stressful day, or otherwise want to pull ahead of the pack! Laura Ricci William,

I tell these tips to my [wellness] coaching clients all the time. The interesting thing is that you are a proposal coach, and I recently completed a workshop on 'coaching oral proposals'... wow, that proposal biz is TOUGH. You guys really do need breaks, water, nourishing food (not sugar), and a new focus for a few minutes. The body survives on activity-renewal-activity-renewal... I completely agree.

Prevent Burnout to be Effective

An important component of being effective is connecting to yourself. Know that your mind is fried and that you need to walk away from the computer for awhile and get some perspective. I’m not sure who said it, but I love the expression, “When your mind is tired, work your body.

It makes you feel like you could go for the rest of the day with the same energy as in the early morning. I have been trying to go with this tip for quite some time now and it surely makes you feel completely different. In case you haven’t tried it out, you should. I guess this is one of those worth while tips following up on and I am glad that Laura feels the same way as well. I actually found out throughout the years that they are great specially when you are travelling to different conference events with very long and intensive agendas from the early morning till the late evening. There is nothing like a 20 minute nap in the middle of the afternoon to then be able to respond to such demanding events throughout the whole day. I tried it out back again while I was at the TLE event in Madrid and will certainly repeat it in whatever the next event that I may get to attend. And believe me, you should do it, too. You would thank me for it later.
