So, I thought I better share my findings with all of you so you can reap the benefits of increased productivity, creativity, focus, happiness and physical and mental health.
As for following my own tips, I am going to create a priority for myself in Rhythm to mediate daily. At Rhythm Systems, we have created a special dashboard called "Sharpen the Saw" where our team puts in priorities for things like exercise goals, learning a new language, keeping smart, etc. So, I will track this on my Rhythm dashboard and rely on my team's encouragement to help me build a strong habit.
I encourage you to try it out, too, and please share the benefits!
