Get outside, already!

I'm always encouraging my clients to get outside and move!  There's all kinds of research showing that "fresh-air breaks" are great for concentration, mood, productivity, etc.  Now there's research showing that getting outside in nature (think: green, not: concrete) keeps your brain from getting tired too!  Cognitive fatigue is no joke.  It's harder to make good decisions when your brain is tired.  And it's harder to make yourself do things that you don't feel like doing (think: writing another paragraph, grading another set of papers) when your brain is on empty.  So I hope it's sunny and warm where you are -- 'cause it's time you got outside, already!
