YOGYAKARTA Don't you have time to calm down without being chased by an agenda to the next agenda? It's a good idea to start rearranging and make sure you have free time. The reason is, according to psychotherapist F. Diane Barth, LSCW., citing scientific evidence, slowing down or doing less activity important for emotional and physical health and thinking skills are also productive.

Research published by Cleveland Clinic, shows that resting can improve mood, improve performance, and be able to concentrate and pay attention. Praxically, David Ogilvy, founder of advertising company and author of Confessions of an Advertising Man, requires his creative staff to leave the office regularly for exercise, spend time in nature, and watch arts and cultural events. He believes that creativity is triggered by free time.

A mindfulness teacher Marc Lesser also taught that using less effort to become stronger. He writes, slows down and pays attention to helping us create a productive life that really makes us feel comfortable.

Barth said, doing less does not require a lot of effort. It's just that, it requires a change in attitude. Launching Psychology Today, Wednesday, November 8, Barth recommends testing a week of doing less activity. Of course, with which sizes are priority and not. Reduce what is not a priority then you will realize that you have done so much.
