Work meditation protocol (or how to avoid productivity stress)

Set a time-frame to work.

Name the work. Know what is the work/project/product you dedicate to.

From the moment you start working (according to the time frame you previously set), you stay either by yourself or with the people you're collaborating. It's not a time for socializing, it's a time for meditating, alone or collectively.

All you do during this time IS work. No matter if you're looking out of the window with an empty head or if you're wandering off the internet about related or unrelated subjects: it's work, and it's GOOD work.

You just stay open, observing the work as it happens. At times waves of initiative might appear, ride them. Follow through ideas, attemtps, try outs. If they go nowhere, don't get upset, don't try to force nor trash them. Let them go, keep them there somewhere hanging, wait for the next wave.

When time is over, stop working.
