5 MINUTE HOLIDAY

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO FAR TO FEEL GOOD



How many times have you postponed taking a longer break because you didn't have enough time for it?

And how long a break do you really need in order to feel rested and recharged?

Have you thought about taking shorter breaks more often instead of taking a longer break for the once or twice a year holidays? Would that work for you?

I wanted to try it out for myself and see how it works. From day trips to weekend getaways to extended weekends and even an almost one week short break, I'm planning to try them all and see what is the formula that works.

And maybe you will get some inspiration for your next getaway.

Put on your hiking boots, we're leaving!

Fresh Mountain Air - the busy lifestyle

We're starting off at  1'360m and there will be 191m ascent. It's an easy 5km walk but oh so rewarding. 

Narcissi - The Busy Lifestyle

Can you imagine how it is to see fields of these little flowers? We call it May snow around here. There are so many of them, it looks like snow from afar.

And it gets better.

And to top it all, this was waiting for us at the end of the 2h walk through the most amazing narcissi fields:

Swiss Alps - The Busy Lifestyle

(not the best quality, but you get the idea!)

With all the hints we gave you, can you say where this is?

It's true that when living in Switzerland, this kind of beautiful places are easy to find, but I'm sure everyone has it's own favourite "backyard playground".

Habits of Successful People

WHAT TYPE OF SUCCESSFUL ATHLETE ARE YOU?

MARATHONIAN OR SPRINTER?



Successful people have their work habits. Working a lot is one of them. Some of us consider that a lot of work has to be hard work. There are others who bet on smart work. They are the ones who know that all work no fun is not a good advice when it comes to sustainable success.

We looked at two type of successful athletes: marathonians and sprinters. The idea was to understand how effort is distributed over time, how they manage their energy and what can we learn from them so we can apply it in our lives and businesses to form successful habits.

THE MARATHONIANS

 

marathonian successful people - the busy lifestyle

  • * They generate constant effort for long time
  • * They conserve their energy so it can last longer
  • * Linear spend of physical and mental energy
  • * No time allocated for recovery, recharge and renewal
  • * They look tired, a little sunken and emotionally flat
  • * Only effort and no recovery wears down even the strongest of us

 

THE SPRINTERS

 

sprinter successful people - the busy lifestyle

  • * Intense effort for a short period
  • * They engage fully for short lapses of time
  • * Cyclic spend of physical and mental energy
  • * Time is scheduled for recovery, recharge and renewal
  • * They look enthusiastic, powerful, beaming with energy
  • * Alternating effort and recovery builds more energy for future challenges
