It is a fact that we want to be productive, we want to accomplish and to achieve something daily.
To maximize our performance we must be sensitive to our mind-body cues. When we are aware and understand our ultradian and circadian rhythms, and the shifts taking place in our thinking, mood and behaviour, we can greatly enhance our productivity, effectiveness and also our creativity.
We need to know when our minds are more alert, because is then when our mental capacity, memory and interpersonal skills are at the highest level.
Ultradian periods are broken into 90 to 120 minutes, our minds want to take a 20 minute break.
Some research has shown that the ultradian rhythms of the mind-body affect our performance in all our activities such as verbal and spatial skills, eye-hand coordination, vigilance, imagination, creativity, concentration, short term memory, mental alertness.
Once you understand your “biological hour” your can apply it to your own life and enhance your performance through the day.
Know when, at what time of the day you are at your peak for learning and working.
Know and notice when you are starting to make mistakes, these things tell you that you need to take a break. It is healthy and for your safety to take a break.
