Unleashing Healthy Productivity: Exercising While
Holding Meetings
Hello, fellow productivity enthusiasts! Today, I want to share a remarkably effective productivity hack – one that combines the benefits of physical exercise with the demands of modern communication. That's right, I'm talking about making phone calls or holding meetings while you exercise. It might sound a bit unconventional, but let me explain why this could be a real game-changer in your personal and professional life.
I've embarked on this journey as part of my personal goal to save children's lives through a unique fundraising endeavour – the ultimate ultramarathon of run vlogging. Every day, I'm out logging those miles, and along the way, I've discovered this productivity hack that has truly transformed how I manage my day.
Imagine this: I’m out on my run, the wind blowing gently, the tranquillity of nature enveloping me, and during this peaceful time, I’m also getting through my scheduled phone calls. Whether they be online or in-person meetings, I've learnt to compartmentalise these communication tasks into this block of time, a time that was traditionally set aside for listening to music, audiobooks, or podcasts.
Now, you might be wondering how this works with online meetings. As long as you have a reliable 5G signal, joining Zoom or Teams meetings without video can be seamless. You can easily mute and unmute from your device, making it possible to participate actively while you stay on the move.
An added bonus is when you find others who love exercising as well. Why not take meetings outside for a joint walk or a run? It’s incredibly refreshing and often sparks creativity and new ideas.
Exercise is known to release positive endorphins in our bodies. The calming effect of being out in nature can provide a creativity boost, often leading to better results in meetings that would otherwise be considered dull or monotonous if held in an office setting.
So, what are the takeaways from my daily diary? If you're someone who exercises regularly, whether it be at the gym, through running, or just walking, think about integrating your phone calls or online meetings into this time. Not only does it make your day more productive, but it also ensures you continue with tasks you'd be doing anyway without interruptions.
And let's not forget the impact on your wellbeing. With exercise bringing about a release of positive endorphins and nature providing a tranquil environment, you might just find yourself achieving greater and more creative outcomes than ever before.
If this has piqued your interest, or you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out. Your support in my mission to run vlog for children in need is invaluable – every engagement raises awareness and funds, helping save more lives.
Stay positive, stay happy, and let’s embrace this productivity hack for a healthier, more fulfilling day. Looking forward to catching up tomorrow!
