I find the best way is walking in the woods, with no people around. I do that 3-4 times a week for 40-90 minutes. Usually with the dog. It helps to have a long retractable leash attached to my waist, so I don't have to hold it or negotiate every clump of grass she wants to sniff.
I can think through some smaller issues in my office, leaned back in my chair, feet up on my desk. But it's easy to get sucked back into the screen.
- hanniabu 5y agoAre you able to walk at normal pace when you do this? I've found that if I want to do any real thinking that I need to walk at a slow dill-dally, "putting around" pace. If I walk normal pace I can't seem to achieve any meaningful level of thought. This could just be either because I'm distracted easily and the fast I'm walking the quicker I'm exposed to new stimulation to steal my attention or because when you walk faster you need to pay more attention to your step, not really sure.

- LindyTalker 5y agoThis is what we call a lindy walk, friend
- tmaly 5y agoI do the same thing. There is a nature preserve that is a 12 minute walk from me. I am the only person there with the swans and the ducks. It is amazing to just have the natural peace to think through things.
