DOC SHOCK
Are you looking to increase your athletic performance? New research out of Saint Louis University (SLU) in Missouri found that eating a Mediterranean diet can increase endurance performance in just four days! Participants were six percent faster while running on a treadmill for three miles. The Mediterranean diet consists of plant-based foods. These include fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. Red meat is also limited to just a few times a month. Olive oil is used in place of butter and fresh herbs and spices in place of salt.

Immortal Minute
- We really can’t manage time…but we can manage our own “time formula”.
- Night begins the day. Our 24 day really starts when go to sleep. If slept well, we will be more productive. If not, it will be a less productive day.
- The saying “get twice as much done in ½ the time” is a myth. The thought of trying to do that raises our anxiety --- we work less effectively with less clarity when we are anxious.
- Build downtime into the white spaces of your schedule. Know what is your “go-to” downtime technique to clear your mind and how to get to a calm state.
Segment 3:
Today we’re talking about time management with Lauren Midgley.
- Where we trip ourselves up --- we think we can do more than we have time available. The starting point is knowing your “capacity of time” for each day AND how much time task(s) will take. Then schedule accordingly.
- Stick to the task…rather than jump around to other tasks or allowing yourself to be interrupted while on one task. The task jumping is what causes us to be mentally fatigued.
- Know what routines/checklists really work for you. Build more of them into your day if you can – adds to your efficiency and gives your brain a rest from decision making.
