On taking a break........................

9.  Take a break;  re-activate your higher brain where your best work is done

     Full on, sustained work is admirable.  However, the body being organic maintains this relentless pace by slowly switching to reptile brain.  Reptile brain is about survival.  It will get the job done until you literally drop.  But take a break and you keep higher brain in flow.  Higher brain is where the creative breakthroughs occur, so many of which are the amazing productivity breakthroughs.
