Hello, this is Timo of ProductiveSuperDad.com. Today’s topic is play with
your kids and avoid the afternoon slump. Now this is a very, very, very
common situation. You eat a lunch and then maybe an hour later you start to
feel very tired. Obviously, one of the great ways to deal with the
situation is to take a power nap. But what if you do not have a chance to
take a power nap? Is there something else that you can do about the
situation?

Well, it turns out that some physical activity is a great way to put the
tiredness on the background, and this is actually a tip that I got from a
reader of mine in Bonn. She basically mentioned about playing with her
grandchildren, and I didn’t realize that playing with your kids, that’s a
great physical activity.

You get to relax and have some physical activity, and you are able to get
your mind off the work. At the same time, you are able to put that
tiredness on the background. So if you do not have a chance to take a power
nap, if you are working from home, your kids are staying at home, so why
not play with your kids and feel more energized and alert that way?

Anyway, this is the tip that I wanted to share with you this time. I truly
hope that you found this tip valuable. Please share this information on
Twitter and I will talk to you soon. Bye-bye.

What’s up Timo :).

I don’t have kids but this gets me thinking of different things I can do. I think the key here is physical activity. For me, I have noticed that if I step out and take a walk it makes a huge difference.

I think the key above all else is that I do something – that is active and allows my mind to escape.

Powerful stuff man.
