A Ten-Minute Productivity Booster
Some of you may know that I have a day job. And after one particularly sumptuous lunch break, I was barely able to keep my eyes open. It’s a good thing that my understanding boss allowed me to take a 10-minute nap—in my car hidden away from more strict eyes. My last boss wasn’t that as considerate reasonable. It was stay in front of the computer and leave only for restroom and coffee breaks.
As always, the short power nap rejuvenated me and eleven minutes later, I was back at work. It was much easier to focus once the drowsiness was gone.
I suddenly remembered that, because they have better control over their schedule, freelancers can take power naps as they’re needed. No need to ask for permission, no need to maintain an appearance of busyness. Of course, the danger of your power nap turning into real sleep is always there, but a loud alarm clock and other techniques can limit this possibility:
One of the more popular and most skewed tales is of the painter Salvatore Dali who would place a tin plate on the floor beside his napping chair, holding a spoon over the plate, releasing it to crash down at the onset of sleep. Dali claimed that he would awaken completely rejuvenated with only this minimal amount of rest.
