How to become more productive? Get the dog!

Dog makes to comply with the schedule

Like humans, dogs follow his natural schedule. Thun had to go out 4-5 times a day, and play a few more times. If I do not display it on the street at the right time, he began to whine, indicating that it is time to distract me from the Affairs and draw attention to it. I knew exactly how much time do I have until the next exit to the street. A dog can be compared to a living breathing Pomodoro-managerWho watches me to work well on time and take breaks. This implies the following paragraph.

The importance of work breaks

Breaks - is good. Every few hours I had to break away from work and go to the tuna on the street. When the dog I did not, I forgot even sometimes get distracted by anything else, to reset your brain.

Forced breaks for a walk with tuna I used to just think. To reflect on the further development of its project, on this, as we can increase revenues finally over how to raise the productivity of the team.

I had a whole 20 minutes to escape from the screen and from the people and devote themselves only to the thoughts.

Walking the dog - a great exercise

After school, I ceased to exercise regularly. Now I alternate periods of mad sporting activities (4 months a year I have been doing triathlon) with periods of complete relaxation, where a walk once a week - is practically a sport.

With tuna I walked 5-6 km daily (about 1.5 km per trip). As a result, I lost several kilograms, but most importantly - these walks are very healthy!

Dog brings a sense of joy

Manual startup - it's not always rainbows and fun. Some days are great and full of emotion, others - a surprisingly dull and consist of routine tasks. But each day exciting and spectacular for the dog, and it is a great joy - just to be near you. Great when someone can keep reminding you that life is damn good!

I used to think that a dog - it's just a big waste of time and money, but the Tuna in the weeks turned my idea. Soon his boss, Brian returned from a business trip, and I was beginning to convince my wife that we just need to have your dog.
