The 12 Week Year

To use 10/10/10, we think about our decisions on three different time frames: How will we feel about it 10 minutes from now? How about 10 months from now? How about 10 years from now? The three time frames provide an elegant way of forcing us to get some distance on our decisions.

Meditate at Work: Be mindful of your workplace. Keep interacting with colleagues and responding to emails in a patient and calm manner. Practice responding to a situation rather than reacting. When you do this, your colleagues and mail recipients will also be able to experience your state of mind. Contemplate on your thoughts, words and action while at work. Desk breathing is a common technique used by people with a sedentary lifestyle. Even without crossing your legs or closing your eyes, you can manage to switch off amidst your busy schedule. Just focus on the tip of your nose and inhale/ exhale slowly. Listen to the sound of your breathing and try to concentrate on the various parts of your body. This technique will help you unwind and will clear your mind of the mess.
