What To Do (Instead of Work) For a More Productive Day
If you’re a human, then you’ve got a human brain. (If you’re not a human, then feel free to skip this article.) And for a variety of reasons, human brains aren’t meant to be completely “on” 16 hours out of the day, even if you get the 8 hours sleep you need at night.

Does anyone’s business have a slow season anymore?
