Does this sound familiar?
You come in to your office ready to start work. You sit down at your desk, check emails, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Then you’ve been on your computer for 30 minutes so you figure it’s time to go get a drink. You get a drink, come back to your desk … sit down, check emails, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, now you need to go to the toilet …
Stop!
We all have a ‘starting’ ritual that we do when we come back to our desk after a break. And that ritual chews up a LOT of time in the day. I know when I used to work eight hour days I could easily get to lunch time having done nothing but check and answer email. Terrible!
Today Carly and I share the evolutionary thing (!!) that might cause this behaviour and share some practical tips for eliminating it from your life.
Not sure how to listen in to these podcasts?

Once you’re subscribed, all our episodes will automatically download on to your phone (and we will love you to the moon and back).
- If you’re on your computer, the direct link to our show in iTunes is here. Once you’ve subscribed in iTunes, it will download our episodes into your iTunes and you can then add them to whichever iDevice you like from there.
