Why is staring outside the window not a waste of time, by the workplace coach

The staring at the window may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about enhancing productivity.

Kirsty Hulse, a motivational speaker and a coach in the workplace, believes that it can help us find joy and creativity in our work.

The author of the book “I do not swore at work: The evidence of the rules of the researchers to the brilliance of the workplace” said that it tells people often that staring at space is to use a value for their time.

“People are always laughing,” Business Insider told Business Insider. “Isn’t it the extremist that this is funny? We are very conditional on the belief that thinking is not of value, it’s funny even as a concept.”

Hols said there is an end, of course, but if your mind encourages you to look at the window for a while, it is wise to respond.

“Your mind looks like a snowball. If you shook a snowball, this is very noisy, and then it will start stabilizing slowly – and we need a stable snowball in order to be able to solve problems.”

Girlboss burned

HULSE’s first company was a 26 -year -old marketing agency.

From the outside, it was very successful, as huge customers such as Virgin Atlantic and IBM fell, opened offices in London and San Francisco, and expanded their team.

However, in the late twenties she began to suffer from severe chest pain. After some tests, the doctors concluded that her heart was good, but she was suffering from panic attacks.

Hols, the millennium, grew up in the era of “Girlboss”, when priority was given to hard work and success on everything else.

“I thought I was dealing with it,” she said. “I was strong in flexibility and all those things in which women are conditional on their existence, but my body was giving me all this hidden sermon.”

Hols realized that she needed to change, so it was pivotal to learn everything she could about neuroscience for success and work and what makes us productive creatures.

Now, she is a confidence trainer who trains people in higher companies, including LinkedIn, Amazon and Spotify, to be more confident and how to organize workplaces to highlight the best of people.

Here is the most important advice:

1. Do not ignore your feelings

Hols said that many workplaces are still working as it did in the fifties, when the emotions were not welcome.

She said that giving priority to intellectual solidity on our personalities is not how humans work normally, which leaves many people feel that they are not at work, or to develop a fraudulent syndrome.

“If we feel as if we had to have a kind of personality transplant and suddenly we are this serious and powerful professional, it is in our head,” Hols said. “We are emotional creatures. We make emotional decisions and emotional options.”

In the era of artificial intelligence, Hulse believes soft skills will help workers excellence.

2. Discover what the play looks for you

Hols said that the opposite of play is not working; It is depression. Play is a need “like food and water”.

You often ask what people like to do for fun when they were young, such as running in the forest or playing table games. Then I ask them the question, “How do you communicate this more to your work? Hols said: “There is always a clear path.”

Spending an hour per week to take a pottery, drawing, playing guitar, taking yoga, or going to run. “Something you love who really feeds your creativity and loyalty.”

3.

Instead of worrying about realizing hard work or being preoccupied, Hulse recommends that you get to know the place where you do your best thinking: “We pay for our ideas, we pay for our thinking.”

Hols said that people often tell her that the best place in the bathroom, which may be because “innovation is quiet nervous.” Outside the window, a similar effect.

“We come with great things all the time, but when your mind walks quickly and you are doing tasks and you ignore things about your list of tasks, you will never be able to hear your innovative thoughts,” she said.

“We do not have our best ideas in the bathroom, it’s this is the only time you can hear it.”
